A fascinating documentary that presents the story of the writer's life, as well as examining the social and political events that influenced his work. Italian writer Alberto Moravia (1907-1990), pseudonym of Alberto Pincherle, was born in Rome. As a youth, while recovering from tuberculosis, he began writing about the moral difficulties of people socially alienated and trapped by circumstances. In his most famous work, Two Women (1957), he drew upon his own wartime experience to relate a story of two Italian refugees. (2006) 45 min., in English.
