Enzo Barboni worked in film at a period when the medium itself was still changing shape.
The record lists Enzo Barboni as Italian film director (1922–2002).
Enzo Barboni was born at Rome in 1922. His recorded nationality is Italy.
The studio system was at its height in this period: contracts were long, the output was industrial, and a handful of studios decided who worked.
The record gives his roles in the industry as film director, cinematographer and screenwriter.
His name is attached above all to slapstick comedies starring Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. The screen flattens effort: a performance that took months reads as a few unhurried minutes.
The filmography includes They Call Me Trinity.
That the work was made from Italy shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
Enzo Barboni died in 2002, aged 80. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
