Based on the Pavese trilogy that inspired Antonioni in 1955, it premiered in Locarno’s Piazza Grande. beautiful summer Laura Luchetti. Great movie, very modern.although the action takes place in 1938, the same period as Special day Chips.
We are in Turin and it is a group of young people who bring to life the history of the book (the first Strega Prize in the 50s), where the protagonist is youth, the age that lives in us the longest, said Pavese. Among all the young, very good actors (Yile Yara Vianello, Nicolas Maupas, Alessandro Piavani) there is also the daughter of art Virgo, the daughter of Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci.these days are busy filming a new Ocelot.
The film is an intimate mirror of two girls who are attracted to each other because they are opposites.: the seamstress Ginia (Vianello) and the daring model Amelia (Kassel). “He is a character,” says Deva, “free and modern, he prefers what he wants and feels.” “Who better than her,” says the director, “could know the psychology, as well as the melancholy of the model?” “I found in her,” says Vianello, “great humility, we gave each other a lot of advice, we are real friends.” A sentimental group effort involving the entire cast: Kassel’s film debut follows what she’s already seen on the catwalk as a model. “I was followed a little in the family,” says 18-year-old Kassel, “before I became two actors, this is my dad and my mom, they give me advice, they help me choose, but they leave me freedom along the way.”
Director Luchetti has been thinking about this film for four years, which will be released with Lucky Red on August 24th.. “A perfect novel, its sparse story about the universality and cyclicity of youth, which I love to tell and study. Pavese was the eternal boy: youth repeats itself, it’s a true paradise lost, and there’s a leap in the film that you have to take to figure out who you want to love. I conveyed humility and affection to the bodies of boys by tattooing characters from the 1930s from the first De Sica films onto them. But there is also the male gaze of Pavese and the strong female voice of two women fighting for themselves, longing to be seen and portrayed in the sentimental bubble of youth that isolates them from history.”
The actors’ union was perfect for the author: “Different actors with the same heart a real laboratory of subtlety of feelings, a game of views in which everyone respects the book. There is a love scene, not with Kassel, which we decided not to undress, contrary to the book.
