Fratelli Taviani

Italian filmmaking brothers Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, known for collaborative features that blend drama, history and theatrical adaptation.

The Taviani brothers co-directed numerous films across decades of Italian cinema; notable titles include Padre padrone, Kaos and Cesare deve morire.

DeBaser hosts two reviews of films by the Taviani brothers. One praises Cesare deve morire for its humane, theatrical documentary approach and the liberating power of art. The other criticizes Maraviglioso Boccaccio for lacking the lightness, wit and vitality expected from Boccaccio adaptations.
