The film:
"After all, I mostri is a successful film, a series of exemplary portraits full of distrust for the human race that was coming from the Italian economic boom and the transformations of Italy in those years. There was a certain foresight, also, because at that time the euphoria was still prevailing."
[Dino Risi]
"I mostri is one of my six-seven movies I would save. It’s an unequal film, structurally important because it was the first successful film that was done with a very open structure made of sketches combined with episodes."
[Vittorio Gassman]
The film restoration:
I Mostri was restored by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino with the collaboration of RTI-Mediaset, Lyon Film and Surf Film, from an original Dupont negative camera scanned at a 4k resolution.
Some frames, that in the negative print were overtime substituted with a second generation internegative, have been scanned and restored from a first generation lavender.
The sound has been restored using an original negative optical.
The restoration was carried out at the laboratory L’Immagine Ritrovata in 2015 and it was screened as a world preview at the 72nd Venice Film Festival in the Venezia Classici section.
The restoration of this film was made possible thanks to the crowfunding campaign of the Museo Nazionale del Cinema on the MakingOf.it website.
