Padre Padrone

Winner of the 1977 Cannes Film Festival, this classic by the Taviani brothers is based on Gavino Ledda's autobiography. Gavino is only six years old when his father pulls him out of school to herd sheep in the barren countryside. The father treats the child as his father treated him, forcing him to live in a miserable shepherd's hut. 

The Taviani brothers first established their international reputation with this powerful film based on an autobiographical novel by Gavino Ledda, who escaped an impoverished childhood in Sardinia to become an accomplished linguist. Ledda himself introduces the film by passing the stick used by his father to the actor (Omero Antonutti) who will portray him. A new 4K restoration.
