    Presseinformation Verleihung des 17. Marburger Kamerapreises an Luca Bigazzi Der 1958 in Mailand geborene Luca Bigazzi erhält den mit 5.000 € dotierten Marburger Kamerapreis 2017. Er ist der erste italienische Kameramann unter den bisher 17 Preisträger/innen. In der Begründung des Beirats heißt es zu dem einstimmigen Votum: „Unter den aktiven Kameraleuten des italienischen Films nimmt Luca Bigazzi eine herausragende Stellung ein. Seit über 30 Jahren hat er mit vielen wichtigen italienischen Regisseurinnen und Regisseuren wie Silvio Soldini, Gianni Amelio, Francesca Comencini und Paolo Sorrentino zusammengearbeitet und erheblich zur internationalen Renaissance des italienischen Kinos beigetragen. [...] Bigazzi beherrscht eine breite Palette an Bildsprachen meisterhaft [und ist längst] selbst zu einem prägenden Akteur der italienischen und europäischen Filmgeschichte geworden, dem in den kommenden Jahren eine gewichtige Rolle bei der Herausbildung und Weiterentwicklung einer digitalen Bildsprache zuzutrauen ist.“ Bigazzis Weg zum Film führte ihn nicht über die Filmschule, sondern über die Werbebranche, wo er 1977 als Regieassistent für Fernsehspots zu arbeiten begann. Seinen Einstieg als Kameramann hatte er mit dem minimalistischem Filmdebüt PAESAGGIO CON FIGURE (LANDSCAPES WITH FIGURES, 1983) des Regisseurs Silvio Soldini. Die Zusammenarbeit mit diesem aufstrebenden Regisseur trug weitere Früchte, vor allem in der Erfolgskomödie PANE E TULIPANI (BROT UND TULPEN, 2000), die neun Mal mit dem bedeutendsten italienischen Filmpreis, David di

  • Le Immagini Del Potere. Note Sull'identità Italiana Nel Cinema Di
    Le immagini del potere. Note sull’identità italiana nel cinema di Paolo Sorrentino Antonio Iannotta L’ironia è la migliore cura per non morire, e le cure per non morire sono sempre atroci. Giulio Andreotti (Toni Servillo), Il divo Il nazional-popolare, ovvero L’uomo in più 1980. Un uomo di una certa eleganza entra in un luogo indefinito che scopriremo essere lo spogliatoio di una squadra di calcio di serie A. Ha la cravatta allentata. Impassibile, si svuota le tasche, si toglie l’orologio e la giacca, e la fa roteare platealmente sopra la testa. In controcampo, uno dei giocatori si morde nervosamente le dita: lui sa cosa sta per accadere. L’allenatore scaglia la giacca contro uno dei suoi uomini e comincia ad inveire furiosamente. Siamo nell’intervallo di una partita importante e la squadra di casa, che è il Napoli, anche se non può essere nominata come tale, sta perdendo. “Ma porca puttana infame! Cosa cazzo state combinando?! Come cazzo vi permettete di fare questo a me?!,” e così via, gridando e 1 maledicendo uno per uno i giocatori che sembrano ragazzini timidi alle prime armi e non certo dei professionisti. Solo uno ha il coraggio di reagire e di dire la propria, con la testa alta e lo sguardo fermo, facendo dare di matto ancor di più, se possibile, il coach: “Come mi ha rotto i coglioni lei non me li ha rotti mai nessuno, Pisapia.” Il difensore Antonio Pisapia (Andrea Renzi) è uno dei due protagonisti de L’uomo in più (2001), il primo lungometraggio di Paolo Sorrentino.
