  • Malinconico Ludwig Studiava Da Attore
    MALINCONICO LUDWIG STUDIAVA DA ATTORE La prima tentazione è quella di definire Ludwig 1881, il film dei fratelli Donatello e Fosco Dubini presentato in concorso a Locarno, un omaggio a vent'anni di distanza al "classico" di Luchino Visconti. Se la si guarda meglio, però, questa piccola produzione svizzero-tedesca dai meriti superiori al budget (è uno tra i titoli migliori visti finora al festival) dispone di un'autonomia molto precisa dal suo - presunto - modello alto. In primo luogo nel modo con cui gli sceneggiatori hanno concepito il mitico re di Baviera; poi nel tono sommesso e intimo, là dove la versione viscontiana era fastosa e magniloquente; e ancora in una continua vena d'ironia, rappresentata da una coppia di valletti alla Rosencrantz e Guildenstern che commentano tutta l'azione. Ludwig 1881 racconta un episodio autentico della vita del re, testimoniato da un carteggio fra Ludwig e il suo amante, nonché attore alla corte di Monaco, Josef Kainz. Nell'estate dell'81 i due uomini viaggiano in incognito sul lago dei Quattro Cantoni, celati sotto pseudonimi presi a prestito da Victor Hugo. Il re vuole che l'attore gli reciti scene del Guglielmo Tell di Schiller sullo sfondo degli scenari naturali svizzeri e - per renderne più convincente l'immedesimazione, lo spinge a camminate fra le nevi perenni o a levatacce per vedere l'alba sul Rigi. Ma la quota di "Sturm und Drang" del giovanotto si rivelerà molto al di sotto delle regali aspettative. Eppure il film dei Dubini un elemento in comune con quello di Visconti lo ha, ed è la presenza di Helmut Berger: Ludwig per eccellenza (benché altri attori abbiano interpretato il ruolo del re di Baviera, nella versione di Sjberberg e altrove) tornato a vestire il personaggio con tratti rinnovati e maggiore sicurezza interpretativa.

  • Vittorio De Sica, 1946, 1948, 1951, 1952, 1960, 1970)
    1 Sciuscià, Ladri di Biciclette, Miracolo a Milano, Umberto D, La Ciociara, Il Giardino dei Finzi-Contini (Vittorio de Sica, 1946, 1948, 1951, 1952, 1960, 1970) I first saw Vittorio de Sica in the Rock Hudson / Jennifer Jones version of A Farewell to Arms . He was very moving, I thought, being shot by a firing squad. He turned up all the time playing smooth and charming middle-aged Italians. These days The Shoes of the Fishermen is on fortnightly on TCM, and there he is, a cardinal to the life. In filmed interviews he’s always smooth, charming, well-dressed – a kind of Italian Ronald Coleman, but with, you can sense, more latent gravity. He contrasts always with Cesare Zavattini, his long-time scriptwriter, who’s sandpaper-rough, grinning and monosyllabic. In other words, de Sica was a professional, keen on maintaining his image in a profession where image is all. But he made, when the professionals weren’t looking, some of the best and most influential films there are. —————————— An “early Italian neo-realist masterpiece”. Close inspection of Sciuscià reveals what we see in Rosselini’s Roma, Città Aperta , that other, even earlier “Italian neo-realist masterpiece”: excellent professional acting, polished photography, and half of the action – the juvenile prison sequences – done in a studio. One shot – where the prison van containing the two protagonists pulls away from the court where they’ve been sentenced, and we see, from their viewpoint, the little sister of one of them, running after the vehicle in tears – is very close to the shot in Roma … where Magnani runs after the Nazi van containing her husband.

Skorton. Now+Next Few events in my life have been as uplifting and humbling as that of Oct. 19, 2015, the day I was honored to become the 13th Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. The Installation ceremony began with a procession of the institution’s scholars, curators and scientists, representing not only the more than 6,000 staff who dedicate themselves to the Smithsonian’s mission today, but also the many thousands more who have advanced the fields of history, art and science since the institution’s founding in 1846. In 2015 alone we welcomed hundreds of thousands of people to the newly renovated Renwick Gallery (p. 6), our scientists peered to the edge of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way (p. 18) and our anthropologists helped identify the remains of leaders of the Jamestown colony (p. 28). The theme of this year’s annual report is “Now+Next” because the work we do today leads to the innovations of tomorrow. Thanks to the support of many generous private donations, Congress and the American people, we will continue to increase our understanding of the world, and to share that understanding with you.
