A serial imposter, Nancy has gotten more and more comfortable assuming fake personas, and lines have started to blur between fact and fiction, and performance versus reality. Blindsided by the death of her mother, and facing rejection by a love interest, Nancy’s life begins to unravel. When she meets a couple whose daughter went missing thirty years ago, she becomes increasingly convinced these strangers are her real parents. -

Caterina Va in Città Altri Contenuti
CATERINA VA IN CITTÀ ALTRI CONTENUTI (Scheda a cura di Giuseppe Stefanelli) Viva l’Italia! (Di Fabrizio Colamartino) Per tentare di classificare il suo cinema sono stati addirittura tirati in ballo i film della commedia all’italiana, quelli che, nel corso degli anni Sessanta riuscirono a dare del Belpaese un ritratto paradossale e grottesco ma, in fondo, aderente alla realtà sociale del tempo. Paolo Virzì, attraverso cinque o sei film ha tentato di fare più o meno la stessa cosa: fissare tramite l’individuazione di “tipi” sociali, morali e politici – che fossero al tempo stesso tipi comici – la situazione dell’Italia degli ultimi dieci anni, quella della cosiddetta Seconda Repubblica. Con Caterina va in città, Virzì, sia pure in maniera indiretta (ovvero stigmatizzando attraverso le sue giovanissime protagoniste i vizi e le virtù degli adulti), va proprio al cuore del problema e traccia un identikit delle principali caratteristiche della cosiddetta Italia del maggioritario (il sistema elettorale, introdotto all’indomani di Tangentopoli, basato sul bipolarismo). Fin dal suo film d’esordio – La bella vita (1994) – Virzì, livornese d’origine, si era sempre tenuto lontano da Roma, sede proprio di quel potere politico, preferendo ambientare le sue storie, politicamente impegnate (e soprattutto schierate), in provincia, dando tuttavia ad intendere in più occasioni di puntare ad una messa in scena di situazioni che riflettevano – sia pur “in sedicesimo” – una condizione generalizzata del Paese che, proprio nella Capitale, trovava il suo punto d’origine. A tale prerogativa non rinuncia neanche in quest’occasione, affidando sguardo e voce narrante a una ragazzina figlia di un insegnante delle superiori, trasferitasi con la famiglia a Roma dalla provincia di Viterbo che, paradossalmente, proprio come tutti i luoghi geograficamente molto vicini ai centri del potere, sembra antropologicamente e culturalmente lontanissimo dagli stessi. -

He is quickly thrown into a world of drugs and gang violence, but when the prison authorities allow him to take part in the Muay Thai boxing tournaments, Billy realizes that this is his only hope for survival. DIRECTOR’S Q&A What attracted you to A PRAYER BEFORE DAWN? Firstly, the fact that it was a true story, the authenticity, Thailand, boxing, the prison world and above all, Billy Moore’s character, fascinating in his contradictions, in his inner conflicts, his addiction and in all his complexity. It was Rita Dagher who first spoke to me about this project and offered me the screenplay that she was producing with Hurricane Films. I then read the book (A Prayer Before Dawn: A Nightmare in Thailand) which is Billy’s story, from his childhood to his release from prison. -

Wright Musiche: Carlo Virzì Costumi: Massimo Cantini Parrini Durata: 112' INTERPRETI: Helen Mirren (Ella Spencer), Donald Sutherland (John Spencer), Christian Mckay (Will Spencer), Janet Moloney (Jane Spencer), Dana Ivey (Lilian), Dick Gregory (Dan Coleman), Mylie Stone (Emily), Marc Fajardo (Terry), Gabriella Cila (Chantal), Robert Pralgo (Philip), Kirsty Mitchell . (Jennifer Ward) IL REGISTA: Paolo Virzì (Livorno 4/3/1964), sceneggiatore, allievo di Furio Scarpelli, si diploma nel 1987 al CSC di Roma in sceneggiatura e regia. Debutta nel 1994 con La bella vita. Seguono nel 1996 Ferie d'agosto, Ovosodo (’97), Baci e Abbracci (‘98), My Name Is Tanino (2001), Caterina va in città (2003), N (Io e Napoleone) (2006), Tutta la vita davanti (2008), La prima cosa bella (2010), Tutti i santi giorni (2012), Il capitale umano (2014). IL FILM: Ella e John, coppia ormai anziana, decidono, di salire sul loro vecchio camper e di partire, senza avvertire i figli, alla volta di un viaggio che li porterà da Boston verso la Florida. Lui è svanito ma forte, lei acciaccata ma lucidissima... VALUTAZIONE PASTORALE: Dopo un primo approccio, per così dire 'misto' ("My name is Tanino", 2002), e giunto al titolo n°12, Paolo Virzì arriva al primo film totalmente made in USA, affidato per di più a due protagonisti di primissimo piano, Helen Mirren e Donald Sutherland. Attori navigati ed esperti, abituati a frequentare cinema in varie parti del mondo, e quindi a navigare nel territorio ampio e sfaccettato di quello americano. -
