Isabella Rossellini Remembers Her Father
Isabella Rossellini's father, the Italian neorealist director Roberto Rossellini, died 28 years ago. Isabella still misses him. She'll tell us about the short film she wrote "My Dad is 100 Years Old," as a tribute to him on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Guy Maddin directed the film, in which Isabella plays every role--from her mother Ingrid Bergman, to Alfred Hitchcock--except for her father.
