The Golden Coach

In the 18th century, an Italian theater company arrives in Peru. Three men from different social backgrounds—the viceroy, a bullfighter, and a soldier—fall in love with Camilla (Anna Magnani), the group's star. Undecided about which to choose, Camilla is forced to reflect on her identity. Accompanied by the music of Antonio Vivaldi and enlivened by the incomparable vitality of Anna Magnani, The Golden Coach is one of the most beautiful tributes to commedia dell'arte and theater in cinema, preserving at its core the ambiguity of the boundaries between representation and reality, between theater and life.
