(USA 1961), directed by Robert Wise, Jerome Robbins, starring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn and Rita Moreno, colour, 152 min., 35mm, Italian version

Two rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, vie for control of New York’s West Side, but things come to a head when a love story appears to be on the verge of demolishing all the barriers. This legendary musical renewed the genre in depth. Bernstein and Sondheim’s musical score, Jerome Robbins’ choreography, Saul Bass’s title sequences and live footage filmed in the street all came together to make this a truly memorable movie, earning it an astonishing 10 Oscars.

Film introduced by Paola Casella
