  • Tornatore: "Adesso Riparto Dalla Mia Sicilia"
    Da http://www.lastampa.it/redazione/cmsSezioni/spettacoli/200811articoli/38252girata.asp#, 21 november 2008 16/11/2008 (8:58) - INTERVISTA Tornatore: "Adesso riparto dalla mia Sicilia" Vent’anni dopo l’Oscar, è il momento di “Baarìa” GIANCARLO DOTTO ROMA Il mio mestiere è quello d’inventare storie. Di scovarle, elaborarle, sognarle, scriverle e lasciarle nel cassetto. Ogni tanto accade un incidente di percorso e questo incidente è il film». Quando parla un siciliano che più siciliano non si può, tempo e spazio smettono di esistere. La parola Il regista Giuseppe Tornatore diventa meticoloso sfinimento. Peppino + CANALE Cinema e Tv Tornatore è una filtrazione gattopardesca, la versione aggiornata del principe di Salina. Due guardoni morbosi, che stiano a spiare stelle o facce umane poco importa. Che ci siano telescopi e lenti focali nel loro antro privato o vecchi arnesi di un cinema che non c’è più, proiettori, bobine da 35 millimetri, manifesti d’epoca. Due ore sono il tempo minimo per dirsi qualcosa di significativo e confermarsi nell’idea che il cinema, come qualunque altra mania, ha salvato un sacco di uomini dal baratro della malinconia. Tornatore si diffonde con generosa prudenza, non diffida dell’interlocutore ma delle parole, che scivolano spesso là dove lui non vorrebbe mai scivolare, l’enfasi, il luogo comune, la sciatta ripetizione. Sta finendo di montare Baarìa - La porta del vento, il suo ultimo, molto atteso film. Mi lascia sbirciare uno spot di tre minuti. Quanto basta per capire che sarà evocazione pura, quanto basta per riconoscere facce irriconoscibili. Fiorello, Frassica, Vincenzo Salemme, Ficarra e Picone.

  • Masculinity, Stardom, and Italian Cinema 1. the Actresses Listed Were Margherita Buy, Claudia Gerini, and Cristiana Capotondi
    Notes Introduction Trouble Men: Masculinity, Stardom, and Italian Cinema 1. The actresses listed were Margherita Buy, Claudia Gerini, and Cristiana Capotondi. Capotondi was bracketed with regular costar Fabio De Luigi in eighth place. Buy ranked nineteenth and Gerini twenty-third. The top male stars were mostly comics (including Alessandro Siani, Claudio Bisio, Christian De Sica, Checco Zalone, Carlo Verdone, and Antonio Albanese). See Ciak, September 9, 2013. 2. The majority of this criticism has been Anglophone, though see Grignaffini (1988). On Loren, see Gundle (1995a) and Small (2009); on Lollobrigida, see Buckley (2000). Gundle (2007: xix) mentions that male beauty could also be discussed, and cites Malossi’s volume on the figure of the Latin Lover. However, it is interesting that La Cecla in that book admits that “it is difficult to take the Latin Lover seriously” (1996: 26), and he is interpreted as a figure of slightly pathetic comic value, rather than as a symbol of the nation. All trans- lations from Italian are my own, unless otherwise stated. 3. See the cover images for Bondanella (2014), Bertellini (2004), Brunetta (2009), Wood (2005), Sorlin (1996), Brizio-Skov (2011), and Nowell-Smith (1996). 4. De Biasio identifies this as a compensatory move on the part of femi- nism: “The omnipresence and presumed ‘universality’ of men in his- tory, in the arts, in science, in public life, has led to the focusing on women’s identity, lobbying for the rights that were still denied them [ . ] and valorizing their achievements and their contributions to the collective” (2010: 12). 5. Jedlowski says: “While we have an abundant literature on the dif- ferent manifestations and transformations of female identity, reflec- tions on masculinity are, till now, few and far between in Italy” (2009: 11).

  • “ITINERARIO DEGLI AGRUMI” Calabria Protagonista
    “ITINERARIO DEGLI AGRUMI” Calabria Protagonista Regia di Gabriele Muccino VIOLA FILM srl Viale Giuseppe Mazzini, 41 - 00195 Roma p.iva 13920851006 +39 06 3236236 – [email protected] www.violafilm.it PROPOSTA CREATIVA Una terra bagnata da due mari, con montagne e foreste incontaminate. Una terra ricca di storia, cultura e natura, con spiagge dai colori mozzafiato e coste rocciose bruciate dal sole. Con un clima e una biodiversità unici al mondo. La Calabria. Da qui nasce la nostra proposta artistica per un piccolo grande film che racconti questo straordinario territorio, la regione degli agrumi. Protagonisti saranno la Clementina, il Cedro, il Bergamotto, il Limone di Rocca Imperiale. Simboli del Mediterraneo, frutti autoctoni e tipici, eccellenze calabresi in Italia e nel mondo. Attraverso questi quattro preziosi doni della natura, il racconto seguirà un percorso emozionale dalle immagini suggestive, “l’itinerario degli Agrumi”, che ci farà scoprire le acque cristalline, i magnifici borghi, la natura selvaggia, i vicoli più incantevoli della Calabria. Grazie alla sensibilità del grande regista Gabriele Muccino, e la sua capacità di trasformare le immagini in emozioni indimenticabili, ci immergeremo in un percorso ricco di visioni e esperienze sensoriali, così coinvolgente e universale, che trasmetterà al mondo l’immagine più pura della terra degli agrumi. Esploreremo il territorio in cui nascono i preziosi frutti, tra antiche tradizioni e panorami meravigliosi. E ci sembrerà quasi di sentirne il profumo. Filo rosso del racconto sarà quello di un uomo che accompagna per la prima volta la sua donna, una bellissima ragazza spagnola, alla scoperta della sua terra d’origine. Faremo con loro un viaggio nella regione, per assaporarne le delizie, esplorarne i luoghi più autentici e sentirne il profumo, così ci faranno vivere un’esperienza unica chiamata Calabria.

Filo rosso del racconto sarà quello di un uomo che accompagna per la prima volta la sua compagna, una bellissima ragazza spagnola, alla scoperta della sua terra d’origine. Faremo con loro un viaggio nella regione, per assaporarne le delizie, esplorarne i luoghi più autentici e sentirne il profumo, così ci faranno vivere un’esperienza unica chiamata Calabria.

It was I propose to continue the journey even in 2014 telling Italy and the world through Art. Roberto, as always, was skeptical temend to confront the countless websites, blogs, forums that populate the web and that every day they write with talent and professionalism of film, literature, television and more.
