In honor of what would have been the prized actor Marcello Mastroianni’s 100th birthday, his daughter Chiara kicked off a retrospective of his work at the Museum of Modern Art Thursday night. The Italian actor, who was born Sept. 26, 1924, died Dec. 19, 1996, at the age of 72.
Running through Jan. 5, “Marcello and Chiara Mastroianni, A Family Affair” highlights 17 of his films including three that have been fully restored in digital 4K by Cinecittà — “Le Notti Bianche” (White Nights), “Peccato che sia una canaglia” (Too Bad She’s Bad), and “La fortuna di essere donna” (Lucky to Be a Woman.)
