Olexander Wlasenko; "Bed and Brando"

Marco Bellocchio had nothing to loose with his directorial debut "I pungi in tasca" (1965).  Caustic and irreverent, the film recently resurged as an Italian cinema classic.  Paola Pitagora plays Giulia.  She watches wearily from her bed.  The iconic photo on the headboard is a 1953 publicity shot from "The Wild One" starring Marlon Brando.  Charcoal on paper.  Framed, 30" h., 63" l.  SOLD
