Federica Pontremoli, Francesco Piccolo y yo empezamos a trabajar en diferentes ideas a la vez. Tras un tiempo decidimos desarrollar la historia de “HABEMUS PAPAM”. Hay una escena en parti - cular que fue la que empezó todo: un Papa recién elegido que no es capaz de salir al balcón a salu - dar a los fieles. ¿Recibiste una educación religiosa? ¿Crees en dios? Mis padres eran creyentes y recibí una educación católica. Yo no soy creyente. La película está claramente centrada en dos ejes: algunas secuencias se centran en el confi - namiento y otras en la libertad. ¿Qué hay detrás de esa simetría en tu forma de escribir? Quería mezclar comedia y drama en una película, el tono grotesco y el realista. El cónclave de los cardenales es inventado, pero respetamos los rituales y las liturgias de uno real. El Papa escapa del Vaticano y se pasea por la ciudad donde se encuentra en situaciones que no ha experimentado desde hace mucho tiempo. Su vagar por Roma le lleva a Melville y al público hacerse ciertas pre - guntas. Mientras, el psicoanalista permanece retenido en el Vaticano, donde a pesar de sentirse desorientado al principio, se acaba encontrando a gusto al final. ¿Qué piensas de los ataques que estás recibiendo estos días? No ha habido ataques a la película en sí, solo algunas reacciones que no representan al mundo ca - tólico. La iglesia católica ha sobrevivido recientemente a una serie de escándalos y la actitud de su jerarquía ha sido criticada. ¿Por qué no están presentes estas controversias en la película? Intento evitar contarle al público lo que espera escuchar. No me ha interesado nunca reiterar en mis películas cosas de las que el público ya es consciente. No me gusta enviar mensajes velados ju - gando con temas de actualidad. Respecto a los escándalos de la iglesia católica, como los financie - ros o la pedofilia, hay libros, documentales y artículos en los periódicos por todas partes. Prefiero no condicionarme con asuntos de actualidad. Es una historia inventada, sobre mi Vaticano, mi cón - clave, mis cardenales. ¿Se puede aplicar el tema de la película a la política? He dado mi versión de un mundo preciso, el del Vaticano. Pero pienso que los temas de la película y la angustia del protagonista pueden ser aplicados a otras situaciones, otros mundos, y pueden afectar al público que vive apartado de personajes como el nuestro. ¿Cuál es la relación entre la confesión en la religión católica y la confesión durante una sesión de psicoanálisis? No creo que tengan nada en común. ¿Se podría decir que eres más crítico con el psicoanálisis que con la iglesia? En mis películas me he reído mucho de la izquierda, de mi generación, y de la relación entre padres e hijos, de la escuela, del mundo del cine, incluso en “Caro Diario” del cáncer que sufrí hace 20 años. Pienso que es de justicia reírme del psicoanálisis también. ¿Cuál es la relación entre Melville, que rechaza el papel que le asignan, y el actor que quiere interpretar todos los papeles de “The Seagull”? ¿Debe convertirse todo el mundo en intérprete de si mismo, de sus decisiones, de sus películas? Algunas veces es difícil para mí teorizar sobre mi propio trabajo. ¿Por qué Chekhov? Mientras escribía el guión, quería que la obra fuera de un autor reconocido. Chekhov era el que más se correspondía con los sentimientos de la película y sus personajes. El productor protagonista de “Il Caimano” y Melville en “HABEMUS PAPAM” expresan su li - bertad de una manera inesperada y valiente. ¿Crees correcto establecer una relación entre ambos personajes? No veo parecido entre ellos. Puede que haya una conexión en que los dos son el nexo entre dos mundos completamente distintos. En “Il Caimano”, un productor de películas de serie B que vota a Berlusconi, conoce a un joven aspirante a director que quiere debutar con una película anti-Berlus - coni. En “HABEMUS PAPAM”, mientras deambula por Roma de incógnito, el Papa entra en con - tacto con gente y situaciones que no son parte de su mundo. Mientras, un psicoanalista, ateo, conoce a los cardenales de un cónclave y les obliga a participar en un torneo de voleibol. ¿Se corresponde tu negativa a seguir con tu actividad política con la de Melville a ser Papa? Pienso que es una comparación muy forzada. Desde el principio de mi experiencia política dije que volvería a mi trabajo de director en cuanto pudiera. Nunca busqué ser político profesional. ¿Qué parte de la película es autobiográfica? Como siempre, es la atmósfera general de la película. Y si quieres entrar en detalles hay algo en de mí en ambos protagonistas y en la incómoda sensación que tienen de no estar a la altura.

  • In Nanni Moretti's La Stanza Del Figlio
    09-Mary Ann_0Syrimis 2/10/14 10:31 AM Page 113 MORETTI ’S CHILDREN : T HE NEXT GENERATION ? MARY ANN MCDONALD CAROLAN Summary : Nanni Moretti’s La stanza del figlio/The Son’s Room (2001) reveals the effects of a child’s death on the protagonist Giovanni (a psy - coanalyst played by Moretti) and his family. This film appears after Aprile/April (1998), which narrates both the birth of the director’s son Pietro as well as the Italian electoral campaign in 1996 in the month of the title. The arrival of a biological son followed by the death of a fic - tional one in Moretti’s oeuvre suggests greater implications for the par - ent-child relationship in Italy. This phenomenon also comments on the relationship between generations of Italian directors. An examination of Moretti’s earlier autobiographical film Caro diario/Dear Diary (1994) gives insight into this director’s relationship to other artists and also sug - gests implications for the future of Italian filmmaking. In Nanni Moretti’s La stanza del figlio /The Son’s Room (2001), the death of a child allows the narrative to explore the highly personal realm of grief. The title of Moretti’s film refers to a now uninhabited space that serves as a metaphor for the void in the family created by Andrea’s (Giuseppe Sanfelice) accidental drowning while scuba diving. The son’s death devas - tates his father Giovanni (Nanni Moretti), mother Paola (Laura Morante), and sister Irene (Jasmine Trinca). Moretti examines the family members’ reactions to this unimaginable loss that leads ultimately to a redefinition of self.

Während sie sich um ihre alte Mutter Sorgen macht, muss sie als Regisseurin am Set ihres neusten Films ihre Autorität behaupten. Sie plagt sich mit den Launen des extra aus den USA eingeflogenen Hauptdarstellers (John Turturro) herum, wird von der pubertierenden Tochter vor den Kopf gestossen und ihr Bruder, gespielt von Nanni Moretti, ist mit seinen gut gemeinten, aber unnötigen Ratschlägen auch nicht immer die grosse Hilfe. GESPRÄCH MIT NANNI MORETTI Ist die von Margherita Buy in MIA MADRE gespielte Figur Ihr Double? Ich habe nie daran gedacht, die Hauptrolle meines Filmes zu spielen. Ich mache das schon seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr und ich bin auch froh darüber. Früher amüsierte es mich, heute habe ich nicht mehr die fixe Idee, meine Figur in jedem Film zu konstruieren. Ich habe immer eine Frau und eine Regisseurin vor Augen gehabt. Und dass diese Frau von Margherita Buy gespielt werden musste, hat einen einfachen Grund: Ein Film mit Margherita Buy in der Hauptrolle wird besser sein als einer mit mir in der Hauptrolle… Sie spielt viel besser als ich! Margherita hat das ganze Gewicht der Arbeit auf ihren Schultern getragen: Bei 70 Drehtagen war sie nur einen Tag abwesend – für eine Szene, die ich schliesslich wegeschnitten habe.

  • Alienation and L'umorismo in the Films of Nanni Moretti
    LO SPECCHIO FRAMMENTATO ED IL PAGLIACCIO PIANGENTE : ALIENATION AND L’UMORISMO IN THE FILMS OF NANNI MORETTI Mathias Stevenson Sommario Quest’articolo esamina il modo in cui il cinema di Nanni Moretti usa uno sguardo autoriflessivamente critico per parlare della condizione frammentata ed alienata di un soggetto maschile, italiano e di sinistra, nella tarda età capitalista. L’articolo mette a fuoco come l’uso morettiano dell’ umorismo, con palesi tratti pirandelliani, effettui un sovversivo sdoppiamento artistico, poetico e filosofico. Si dimostrerà come Moretti usi l’umorismo per studiare in profondità lo straniamento sociale e la frammentazione esistenziale dei suoi personaggi. Lo svelarsi dei dolori, dei desideri e dei gusti del proprio autore fornisce al cinema di Moretti una prospettiva personale, tragicomica e politicizzata, che mantiene una pertinenza di larga portata. Nanni Moretti’s first feature length film, Io sono un autarchico (I Am Self- sufficient ), released in 1976, marked the arrival of a young self-reflexive, independent and highly original figure into Italy’s troubled cinematic landscape. Self-financed, using Super-8 and involving the acting of himself and that of his close friends and his father, this film set the trend for Moretti’s cinema. This idiosyncratic cinematic approach would forever be defined by an intensely personal inquiry imbued with Moretti’s own obsessions, neuroses, desires and humour. His work comprises a 92 further eight feature length films and six major awards: Ecce bombo (1978); Sogni d’oro (Sweet

  • Appendix 1: Short Introduction to Film Study
    Appendix 1: Short Introduction to Film Study The next few pages offer an alphabetical list of topics often used in the critical evaluation of film with sample questions to aid in the critical discussion.1 Acting/Actors/Stars The cinema has long been driven by the visual appeal of its actors. Acting styles have changed since the silent days from the pantomime of the dive to the preference for nonpro- fessionals in the neorealist period to the present close connection between television, new media, and film. Silent-era actors in particular were universally popular because of the lack of linguistic barriers in their performances. Over the decades the personas of certain actors has even become identified with national, cultural, and class identities as well as with the style of living and attitudes in various time periods. In Italy, actors such as Alberto Sordi and Marcello Mastroianni were widely identified with the basic character traits of the Italian populace as were female stars such as Sophia Loren, Monica Vitti, or Anna Magnani. What type of acting style is used (nonprofessionals, method acting, theatrical, star persona)? Audience Film industries, including Italy, have periodically changed the type of films they produce in response to changes in target audiences. In the United States for example, Hollywood film production was targeted toward a female audience until the 1960s when the target audience became increasingly younger and male. In Italy, production in the 1960s and 1970s and thereafter introduced entertainment (art cinema, erotically charged cinema) not available on television because of censorship codes. What was the intended audience of the film? How was the film received when released? How has the film aged? Camera techniques Film theorists such as Christian Metz and Pier Paolo Pasolini wrote of the ability of shot selection to provide a language for film.2 The image on the screen has been filmed through the eye of a camera, which approaches its subject from certain angles and movements.

  • Mia Madre: a Tale of Unconditional Love, Movie Sets and Loss Published on Iitaly.Org (
    Mia Madre: a Tale of Unconditional Love, Movie Sets and Loss Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Mia Madre: a Tale of Unconditional Love, Movie Sets and Loss Natasha Lardera (May 19, 2015) Nanni Moretti's latest film “Mia Madre” in competition at Cannes tells the story of a film director having to deal with a dying mother and other crises.
