The Organizer

(I COMPAGNI, Mario Monicelli, Italy 1963, 126 min., Italian/subtitles)

Marcello Mastroianni stars as a socialist labor organizer in turn-of-the-century Turin who helps textile workers fight for better working conditions. From the director of Big Deal on Madonna Street, this is “one of the great Italian films of the ’60s, it cries out for rediscovery”—Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader. Co-presented by the Rochester Labor Council.
