Géza von Radványi

Géza von Radványi, pseudonimo di Géza Grosschmid (Košice, 17 dicembre 1907Budapest, 27 novembre 1986), è stato un regista, sceneggiatore e produttore cinematografico ungherese.

Biografia

Figlio di un avvocato di origini sassoni e fratello dello scrittore Sándor Márai, inizialmente praticò la professione di giornalista. Nel 1928 venne accreditato alla Società delle Nazioni di Ginevra. Negli anni trenta, si trasferì in Germania, dove si avvicinò al cinema e fece l'assistente e lo sceneggiatore per vari registi tedeschi. Qui conobbe Eva Daghofer, figlia della celebre attrice Lil Dagover, che sposò nel 1930. La coppia si separò nel 1937 e, l'anno dopo, il regista si unì in seconde nozze all'attrice sua connazionale Maria Tasnady, che diresse in vari suoi film.

Nel 1939 fece ritorno in Ungheria, dove continuò a fare lo sceneggiatore. Successivamente, iniziò a dirigere, esordendo con il film A porte chiuse (1940). Radványi cominciò a farsi conoscere in Europa con la pellicola L'Europa non risponde (1941), dove rappresentò molto realisticamente i disastri che stavano avvenendo durante la seconda guerra mondiale.

Durante gli anni quaranta soggiornò spesso in Italia. Per il cinema italiano realizzò i film Inferno giallo (1942) e Donne senza nome (1950), da lui stesso prodotto. In questi film diresse attori di grosso spessore artistico come Fosco Giachetti e Gino Cervi.

Nel 1947 tornò a Budapest dove, insieme allo scrittore Béla Balázs, fondò la Scuola Superiore di teatro e cinema. Nello stesso anno diresse quello che da molti è ritenuto il suo maggior capolavoro cinematografico, il film È accaduto in Europa, che documenta i disastri causati dal secondo conflitto mondiale.

L'anno dopo lasciò l'Ungheria per trasferirsi nuovamente in Italia, poi in Francia e in Germania. In questi ultimi due paesi diresse vari film nel corso degli anni cinquanta. In tale decennio, film di maggiore rilevanza furono Lo strano desiderio del signor Bard (1954), con protagonista Michel Simon, Ragazze in uniforme (1958), con Romy Schneider, remake dell'omonimo film girato nel 1931, e Il giorno della violenza (1959), con Lino Ventura.

Meno successo riscossero i film successivi come La capanna dello zio Tom (1965), e Vienna, amori al congresso (1966). Successivamente si dedicò esclusivamente alla sceneggiatura, come nel film di successo Beato fra le donne (1970), che vide come protagonista Louis de Funès.

Tornò alla regia, e lo fece nel suo paese, nel 1980 con Circo Massimo, che fu l'ultimo film della sua carriera.

Morte

Radványi morì il 27 novembre 1986, all'età di 79 anni, a Budapest, dove venne sepolto.
