"The Garden of the Finzi-Continis" ( _it. Il giardino dei Finzi-Contini) is a film adaptation of Giorgio Bassani's novel of the same name. It was directed by Vittorio de Sica in 1971. It stars Lino Capolicchio as Giorgio (the narrator).
It won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and was nominated for Best Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium. It won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.
While it was de Sica's penultimate film, it was (according to the DVD's filmographies) the debut or near-debut in feature films for some of the chosen stars for his film, notably the two adult Finzi-Contini children, Micol and Alberto. For Dominique Sanda, who plays the lead female role, Micol Finzi-Contini, it was her first Italian feature film (followed by such films as "The Conformist" and "1900"). For Helmut Berger, who plays her dying brother Alberto, it was his second feature film.
The overall plot of the film follows rather faithfully that of the autobiographical novel on which it was based.
