Another Oscar winner in Turin: here’s who will arrive under the Mole on Tuesday – Turin News

It won’t be Tim Burtonbut I’m looking forward to arriving on Tuesday October 24 in Turin. From Damien Chazelle that’s a lot: director “Whiplash” and from “La-la-land” he will be the protagonist of a master class at 18:30 at the Aul del Tempio Mole Antonelliana, and at 20:30 at the Massimo cinema he will present a screening of his latest film. “Babylon”a film that reconstructs Hollywood in the twenties between comedy and drama, celebrating great cinema, with a cast that includes Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt. Tickets for the master class (90 in total) sold out in no time, tickets for the show (about 450) are running out very quickly.

This is a return to Turin for Chazelleas he himself recalls: “I am honored to receive this award and to return to Turin, where 14 years ago I submitted my first film to the competition. This visit will forever remain one of my fondest memories: the beauty of the city, the Cinema Museum, the feeling of traveling back in time through the history of cinema.”.
From that day on, the American writer achieved enormous success, becoming the youngest director to win a Golden Globe and an Oscar for Best Director in 2017 thanks to the incredible love story between the aspiring actors. actress Emma Stone and misunderstood pianist Ryan Gosling are at the center of La La Land.

His colleagues “from home” are always in his heart. “Italian cinema has had a great influence on me, and so to be here again – in the land of Fellini, Pasolini and Visconti – is an emotion in itself: a place where the ghosts of cinema’s past roam the streets and remind us what is really worth fighting against. because in this art form we love”.
It’s impossible that the crowd scenes with Burton a couple of weeks ago happened today (some people counted almost five thousand people!), but Turin will be able to host Chazelle as it deserves by getting them there too Mole’s Star in recognition “for bringing a unique perspective to his projects, infusing them with the passion, creativity and uncompromising commitment necessary to achieve his artistic vision.”
