Ettore Scola,the scenarist and the filmmaker



Ettore Scolla is a scenarist who has thought to make a film documenatry on Roman ghettos called Brutti sporchi e cattivi ..As a scenarist, Scolla finds the fact to film this ghetto around Rome quite uncomfortable ,so he thinks to make a fiction out of it in which Pasolini introduces the film by himself.unfortunatly Pasolini was assassinated ,and Scolla finished his film without the preface of Pasolini.(allal el alaoui)

In 1976 he won the Prix de la mise en scène at Cannes Film Festival for Brutti, sporchi e cattivi.
