What Italian movie is based on a play written by the author of "Les Enfants Terribles"?
The Mystery of Oberwald The Mystery of Oberwald (Italian: Il mistero di Oberwald ) is a 1981 Italian drama film written, directed, and edited by Michelangelo Antonioni and starring Monica Vitti, Paolo Bonacelli, and Franco Branciaroli. Based on the 1946 play "L'Aigle à deux têtes" by Jean Cocteau, the film is about a man who breaks into the castle at Oberwald to kill the queen but faints before doing so. The man's physical resemblance to the murdered king leads to a strange turn of events. "The Mystery of Oberwald" received the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists Silver Ribbon in 1982.
A boccaperta A boccaperta, as stated in the work itself, is an Italian screenplay written in 1970 by Carmelo Bene, even though most consider it a novel. In most of Bene's works is hard to recognize a sole genre: he himself defines his own art as "degenerate". It was published in 1976 in bundle with "S.A.D.E." and "Ritratto di signora del cavalier Masoch per intercessione della beata Maria Goretti". Written for Joseph of Cupertino, Bene's initial idea was to make a movie based on this screenplay, without success, as the production costs would have been prohibitive since theaters would have needed to equip a second screen in order to show Joseph's flights.
