Great Women: Sophia on Loren (2014)
Sophia Loren's story told by Loren herself. The greatest Italian movie star of all time describes her life and career through a selection of the materials dating from between the fifties and the present day preserved in the archives of the Istituto Luce Cinecittà and the Rai. An exploration of the myth of a "unique" actor, relying exclusively on precious and sometimes rare archive footage, with a commentary in Loren's own words drawn from over half a century of interviews and firsthand accounts of the most important moments in her private life and her career. A documentary made to celebrate this great actor's eighty years and her immense charm and talent.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
