Question: Do both films: Slap The Monster On Page One and Johannes Goth have the directors from the same country?

Slap the Monster on Page One( Italian:" Sbatti il mostro in prima pagina") is a 1972 Italian drama film directed by Marco Bellocchio. It depicts the daily life of a fictitious Italian daily newspaper" Il Giornale"( The Journal). The newspaper caters to a conservative, fascist, borgeouis public and its chief- editor Bizanti tries in all manners to give a right- wing slant even to the most trivial news items, while at the same time edulcorating and desensitizing the thornier issues, such as unemployment, police brutality and so on. The whole editorial staff is thrown in a tantrum when a young girl is found raped and killed, going as far as soliciting death penalty nostalgias( capital punishment has been abolished in Italy since the fall of Fascism) and to actually derail the investigation leading the police to a false culprit: a young left- wing student which becomes the" ideal" scapegoat for the newspaper's prejudiced readership. The movie, a searing" J'Accuse …!" on the perils of press manipulation, closes with no happy ending in sight, with the public opinion totally mesmerized by Bizanti and his cronies for the satisfaction of their backers and financers. Two years after the movie's distribution a right- wing newspaper called" Il Giornale" was actually started in Italy by Indro Montanelli. <SEP> Johannes Goth is a 1920 German silent film directed by Karl Gerhardt and starring Ernst Stahl- Nachbaur, Carola Toelle and Werner Krauss.

After high school, Piovani enrolled at the Sapienza University of Rome, receiving his degree in piano from the Verdi Conservatory in Milan in 1967, and later studied orchestration under the Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis. Among his more popular works is the score for the Federico Fellini film" Intervista", his second of three collaborations with the famous director, the others being" Ginger e FredGinger and Fred" in English) and" La voce della luna The Voice of the Moon"). Years later, he composed a ballet titled" Balletto Fellini". In 2000 his Academy Award- winning score for" La Vita è bell a Life Is Beautiful") was further nominated for a Grammy Award in the" Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media" category, losing to Randy Newman. In 2005 he was a member of the jury at the 27th Moscow International Film Festival. In light of his recent work with French directors, notably Danièle Thompson, Philippe Lioret, and Éric- Emmanuel Schmitt, the French Minister of Culture gave him the title of" Chevalier"( Knight) of the" Ordre des Arts et des Lettres" on 21 May 2008 at the Cannes Film Festival.

The music for the latter is considered by many as one of the best film scores ever done. However, he is reported to believe that" Too many film scores make a composer a hack, but in the theatre music is above all craftsmanship". Accordingly, he continues to work in musical theatre, and also composes concert and chamber music. <SEP> The Story on Page One is a 1959 American drama film written and directed by Clifford Odets, and starring Rita Hayworth, Anthony Franciosa, and Gig Young.
