4 | EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | DECEMBER 2014 | “Viva Italia” Interview with Riccardo Moretti Croatia (Actor)

How did you get into the role of Puccini? Actually, at first, Paolo Benvenuti had asked me to collaborate in this film as I’m an expert of Giacomo Puccini’s music and life. Funnily enough, during several meetings he realized that I had all the Italy features he wanted from his ideal protagonist.

Was there any special preparation for this role? The work was long and hard, and focused mainly on removing certain stereotypes that musicians have when they find themselves as performers: very often they use excessive facial expressions when they play.

Instead, Paolo Benvenuti imposed on me a rigorous and inflexible method to make sure that every expressive aspect was born only from the interior of the actor, myself in this case. Premiere: December 5th at 9:00 PM Did you know the story behind the death of Doria beforehand or was it a surprise for you when you got the script? I was already aware of how Doria had died, but the general opinion was formed through pseudo-historical information. The discovery of the truth for me was just a confirmation.

How was the experience of acting in a silent film in an era of great visual and sound effects? It was different. Obviously, it was the aesthetic that the director Paolo Benvenuti wanted to give to his film. He wanted the purest intensity and drama for the story.

Are you working on any film projects at the moment? Can you tell us something about them? I returned fully to my main work as a film-score composer. In the meantime, I have made a lot of other cinematographic experiences; as film composer I attended the Venice Film Festival for Comedy by Amos Poe and Poltrone Rosse by Francesco Barilli. As an actor I put through the experience of Puccini and the Girl in the theatre with a tour called “The Puccini Experience,” which summarizes the work in Benvenuti’s film; it earned me the «BRAVO AWARD» at Carnegie Hall in New York.

EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | DECEMBER 2014 | 5 “Viva Italia” Giacomo Puccini: The man behind La Bohème He is considered the greatest Italian composer after Giuseppe Verdi. Born in Lucca, in Tuscany, in 1858, Giacomo Puccini is the mastermind behind some of the greatest pieces in the story of opera. Among his works one can find renowned compositions like La Bohème and Madama Butterfly.

Giacomo Puccini was the last heir of a family that for two centuries had provided the musical directors of the Cathedral of San Martino in Lucca. Facing tragedy very early age, he was orphaned at the age of five by the death of his father; the composer used his sorrow as a source for his compositions.

The municipality of Lucca supported the family with a small pension and kept the position of cathedral organist open for Giacomo until he came of age,; until then, he participated in the musical life of San Martino’s Cathedral as a member of the boys’ choir and later as a substitute organist.

After studying at the seminary of San Michele in Lucca, he got a diploma from the Pacini School of Music in Lucca in 1880, and then continued his studies at the Milan Conservatory for three years. In 1880, aged 21, Puccini composed his Mass, which resulted in the culmination of his family’s association with church music.

In his first stage as composer, he started to build a name while still in the conservatory, where he wrote an orchestral piece called the Capriccio sinfonica as a thesis. The work impressed his teachers, who encouraged him to compose operas. Le Villi was the first of many, and was performed at La Scala in Milan in 1885.

Due to the success of Le Villi, Puccini was commissioned to compose another opera. This time he called it Edgar, a three-act work with influences of Wagner’s Tannhäuser. Manon Lescaut followed, being the first of his operas for which he also wrote a libretto, as he wanted nobody to spoil his music. However, along the way the composer changed his mind and allowed five of his closest collaborators to help him.

The greatest operas of Giacomo Puccini were written during the middle of his career, when he composedLa Bohème, a four- act opera based on the 1851 book by Henri Murger, La Vie de Bohème; Tosca, arguably Puccini’s first foray into “verismo,” the realistic depiction of many facets of real life including violence; and Madama Butterfly, based in part on the short story Madame Butterfly by John Luther Long, which premiered at La Scala on February 17, 1904.

After 1891, Puccini passed more time at his villa in Torre del Lago, in the Tuscan countryside. The region remainedhis home and workplace during the last years of his life. However, the composer died in Brussels on November 29, 1924, from complications after a new and experimental radiation therapy treatment in that city.

Although Puccini wrote only twelve operas, his works still dominate the operatic stage, particularly in the United States, where, according to Opera America, Madama Butterfly and La Bohème are the two most frequently performed acts, respectively, with Tosca being eighth and Turandot being twelfth on the same list.

“A comedy that is ironic, sometimes bitter, in some cases even dramatic, tragic.” That is how Mario Monicelli once defined Italian comedy. Considered the father of Italian comedy, he was a director of 70 films, often focusing on stories about ordinary people confronted by extraordinary circumstances, which earned him plenty of awards and the acclaim of critics across the globe.

But how did it all start? Mario Monicelli was born in Rome in 1915, the youngest son of journalist Tommaso Monicelli. While his brothers were as devoted to journalism as their father, Mario entered into the film world through his friendship with Giacomo Forzano, son of the playwright Giovacchino Forzano, who had been commissioned by Benito Mussolini to create cinema studios in Tirrenia.

An intelligent youngster, directing short films while still in his teens, Monicelli co-directed his first full feature,I ragazzi della via Paal (The Boys of Via Paal), with Alberto Mondadori; it was presented at the Venice Film Festival in 1935.

A crucial figure in Monicelli’s career was Steno (the artistic name of Stefano Vanzina), whom Monicelli met in 1949. The pair went on to co-direct several films such as 1951’sGuardie e Ladri (Cops and Robbers), featuring Aldo Fabrizi and famed Neapolitan comic Totò. From 1953 on, Mario Monicelli decided to work alone as director.

Monicelli was not only a mastermind in directing but also a man with sharp eyes when he saw talent. He helped launch the careers of Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale and Vittorio Gassman, with his 1958 film I Soliti Ignoti — released in the US as Big Deal on Madonna Street and in the UK as Persons Unknown, known as the first true “commedia all’italiana.” The film was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 31st Academy Awards.

In 1959 Monicelli released La Grande Guerra (The Great War), regarded as his finest work. The movie earned the director a Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and an Academy Award nomination for the Best Foreign Film. More films of great success followed, including Amici miei (My Friends, 1975) and Caro Michele (1976), winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 26th Berlin International Film Festival, among others. His last feature film was The Roses of the Desert (Le rose del deserto, 2006), which he directed when he was 91 years old.

Mario Monicelli died aged 95 after he leapt from the fifth floor of a Rome hospital where he was being treated for terminal cancer.

An intimately realized portrait of legendary movie maker John Boorman by his daughter, Katrine Boorman.

Me and Me Dad offers a wounds of their past.

16 | EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | DECEMBER 2014 | John Boorman, fa The last Quixotic British filmmaker

He started a career in the film industry by mere luck. Describing the process in an interview with the British newspaper The Guardian, he said, “My career was quite accidental, in a way. When I came out of the army I got a job as a trainee film editor. I thought I could be very happy being a film editor for the rest of my life. But then I moved to Southern Television, and there, as a director-editor, I was directing short films; and then I was running this daily programme there.”

John Boorman’s life has been as fascinating as his entrance to filmmaking. Born in Shepperton, Middlesex, England on January 18, 1933, he was educated at the Salesian School in Chertsey, in Surrey. After his national service and a spell in dry-cleaning, Boorman progressed from journalism into television, eventually becoming the head of the BBC’s Bristol-based Documentary Unit in 1962.

His first feature film, while still at the BBC, was called The Quarry, which had some documentary elements in it but was fundamentally a drama film; it was really what got him launched. From then on, Boorman started getting offers to do features. “I never had a huge ambition to be a film director or anything, I just found myself doing it,” reflected the director in the same interview.

However, Catch Us If You Can (1965) is considered his debut. The film was praised by the mainstream critics after its opening in the US, and people started sending him scripts and offers from America, which led to Boorman’s first great Premiere: December 19th at 9:00 PM venture: Point Black (1967). His efforts to make mind-blowing productions led him to become a casualty during some of his productions. As in a quixotic adventure, he got coral poisoning while filming Hell in the Pacific (1968), and contracted “valley fever” from studio grit on the visionary, trance-like Exorcist II: The Heretic(1977).

Among Boorman’s key film productions are Deliverance (1972), adapted from a pulp novel by James Dickey; Excalibur (1981), a version of the Arthurian legend, based on Le Morte D’Arthur; and Hope and Glory (1987), a rather autobiographical movie retelling his childhood in London during The Blitz.

One of his career’s highlights are the preparations to film a version of The Lord of The Rings in the early 1970s. However, the production proved too costly for the time, and the project was put aside.

John Boorman has remained active as of 2014, when he released Queen and Country, the sequel to his 1987 Oscar-nominated Hope and Glory. The movie was selected to be screened as part of the Directors’ Fortnight section of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.

A Film and Its Era: Lacombe Lucien by Louis Malle

A man who created movies to explore life and its meaning, Louis Malle is one of the most celebrated filmmakers in French history. Most of his movies tackled controversial issues to the point of making them court cases in the United States. Premiere: December 20th at 7:00 PM Malle was born in October 1932, in Thumeries, France, but studied in Paris. His first choice of profession was political sciences, and he enrolled at the prestigious Sciences-Po in Paris, only to turn to filmmaking at the Institute of Advanced Cinematographic Studies. The decision proved right and soon enough, Louis Malle was working with some of the bigger names of French cinema. He worked as co-director and cameraman for Jacques Cousteau on the Oscar- and Palme d’Or-winning documentary The Silent World (1956) and assisted Robert Bresson on A Man Escaped in 1956. Years later, Cousteau called Malle the best underwater cameraman he ever had. At age 24, Elevator to the Gallows (1957) marked Malle’s debut as filmmaker and also made an international star of Jeanne Moreau, at the time a leading stage actress of the state theater Comédie-Française. His following film, The Lovers (1958), also starring Moreau, broke taboos against on-screen eroticism. The film caused controversy in the US due to its sexual content and led to a court case regarding the legal definition of obscenity. Continuing his controversial themes in movies, Malle tackled subjects like suicide, incest, and the Nazi regime in films such as The Fire Within (1963), Murmur of the Heart (1971) and Lacombe Lucien (1974), respectively. Malle crossed the Atlantic and based himself in America, where he continued his career starting with Pretty Baby (1978), the film that made Brooke Shields an international superstar. Susan Sarandon played a supporting role in that movie and was given a starring role in Malle’s next American film, Atlantic City (1980). Malle also created a parallel career as a documentary maker. With a discerning eye and the investigatory skills of a great journalist, he created documentaries like Vive Le Tour (1962), which chronicles the Tour de France, My Dinner with Andre (1981), which captures the sometimes intimate, sometimes contentious dinnertime conversation of Andre Gregory and Wallace Shawn, and And the Pursuit of Happiness (1986), which followed the experiences of immigrants in the United States during the 1980s. He died from lymphoma at his home in Beverly Hills, California, on Thanksgiving Day 1995. EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | DECEMBER 2014 | 21 Sonja and the Bull Croatia
