  • "Holy Rosita", interview with the director Wannes Destoop and the lead actress Daphne Agten
    "Holy Rosita" is a comedy drama presented in competition at the 42nd Torino Film Festival. Telling the story of Rosita, a good-hearted woman loved by all the neighbourhood but considered not fit to be a mother, the film dwells into the concept of acceptance and the social conventions that our society builds and the burden that these conventions are for those who are considered outsiders. We met with the director Wannes Destoop and the actress Daphne Agten to talk about it.
    Rosita is the outsider we all know and we should all love
    Wannes Destoop, director of "Holy Rosita" has always been fascinated by outsiders, by the outcast of society. Rosita, played by Daphne Agten, is the definite one, as she is nice and loving but still kept outside society and underestimated. For the director we as society are not in a position of telling anyone like Rosita if she can be a mother or not. This is the central message of the movie.

  • “The Summer Book” , interview with director Charles McDowell
    "The Summer Book" by Charles McDowell was presented, out of competition, at the 42° Torino Film Festival. 
    The film, starring Glenn Close, is the big screen adaptation of Tove Jansson’s novel and sees the actress in the role of a very affectionate grandmother to Sophia, a nine-year-old girl played by newcomer Emily Matthews. 
    As the book it was based on, the film is full of silences, looks, gestures more than words. McDowell describes his directing process according to these elements: “a big part of making this film was to slow people down and remind them of a simpler time with meditative shots”. 
    "The Summer Book" is McDowell’s 4th feature film. He previously directed Windfall (2022), distributed by Netflix, starring his wife Lily Collins, with whom he founded the production company Case Study Film, also with the participation of Alex Orlovsky.
    Charles McDowell also comments on the film being an ode to nature and embracing themes like getting old, processing grief. The director talks about a specific comment Glenn Close’s character makes in the film, looking back at her life: “The things I did when I was young that were fun ad meant something they don’t seem to mean anything anymore”

  • Matthew Broderick, interview with the Stella Della Mole Award
    At the 42° Torino Film Festival directed by Giulio Base, Matthew Broderick is among the actors receiving the famous festival prize, Stella della Mole. 
    The actor is in Torino to also introduce to the audience one of the films of the Marlon Brando retrospective: "The Freshman"
    In the 1980’s film by Andrew Bergman, Broderick plays a naive young cinema student at the New York University who, accidentally, ends up “working” for Carmine Sabatini ( Brando) who is the spitting image of Vito Corleone from "The Godfather".
    After endless requests to play the part of the mafioso, Brando eventually gave in and agreed to take part in a comical parody of his performance in the iconic film by Francis Ford Coppola. 
    Matthew Broderick talks about his experience on set with Brando and the things he learned from this acting legend.
    Speaking of great actors, Broderick follows the example of the first actor he played with on the big screen: Jason Robards. He taught the War Game actor to make all feel part of the team, that alla actors are on the same level and you can always learn from each other. 
    “Movies and plays change all the time. I like to welcome young actors and I like to learn from them. it’s a two way thing” Broderick states. 
    Among the first films Broderick acted in, there’s the unforgettable and 80’s fundamental movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". The actor tells us more about working on set with legendary director John Hughes.

  • “Una terapia di gruppo”, intervista agli attori Claudio Bisio e Valentina Lodovini

    Dal 21 Novembre con Warner Bros Pictures in sala arriva “Una Terapia di Gruppo” di Paolo Costella. 

    Con un cast corale, composto da Claudio Bisio, Valentina Lodovini, Margherita Buy, Lucia Mascino, Claudio Santamaria, Ludovica Francesconi e Leo Gassman, il film racconta le ossessioni del nostro tempo, attraverso un gruppo di pazienti affetti da Disturbo Ossessivo Compulsivo. 

    Sfruttando i toni della commedia, tanto cara alla nostra tradizione cinematografica, “Una Terapia di Gruppo” affronta un tema che ci riguarda tutti, perché ognuno di noi, con le sue declinazioni e intensità, deve fare i conti con fissazioni, ossessioni e  tormenti.

    Concordano Claudio Bisio e Valentina Lodovini che elogiano lo strumento della commedia perché con certi disturbi sarebbe molto più facile drammatizzare, mentre, ribaltare la situazione, “non ridere di loro ma con loro” aiuta ad empatizzare, ad affrontare. 

    Seppur tratto dal soggetto originale “Toc Toc” di Laurent Baffie, il film prende un’altra direzione e prova a accogliere il dubbio, l’empatia e l’immedesimazione nello spettatore.

  • “Bogancloch”, Interview with director Ben Rivers
    At the 65th Festival dei Popoli in Florence, Ben Rivers, director of the documentary "Bogancloch", shared insights into his work and the inspirations that shaped it. Rivers expressed his excitement about presenting the film at the festival, marking his first experience sharing a personal project in such a prestigious setting.
    Rivers discussed the symbolism of the Trabucco, which he portrays almost as a character within the film. This complex, wooden structure—entirely devoid of electricity—requires continual care and attention. He emphasized that the Trabucco is more than just a fishing device; it represents a bond between humans and nature, with its meticulous upkeep reflecting the commitment of those who rely on it and a tradition deeply rooted in respect for natural elements.
    In capturing the flow of daily life, Ben Rivers sought to tell a story that invites viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between solitude and the human experience within nature. His time with the characters allowed him to immerse himself in their world, capturing their lives with an authenticity that comes through vividly in the film.
    Ben Rivers shared that, while exploring the essence of isolation, his intent was not to romanticize it. Instead, he aimed to portray the complexities of living in seclusion, noting that while solitude can foster a profound connection to nature, it also brings loneliness and detachment from society.
    He emphasized his observational documentary style, noting the importance of letting the characters’ subjectivity shine. The film offers a nuanced view of their lives, encouraging the audience to engage with their experiences rather than offering a one-dimensional portrayal. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of the characters' reality.
    The conversation also touched on the broader implications of the film, particularly concerning contemporary issues of isolation. Rivers expressed his hope that "Bogancloch" resonates with viewers who may grapple with similar feelings in today’s fast-paced world. By blending themes of solitude with the beauty of the Scottish Highlands, he aims to inspire reflection on the human condition and the quest for connection.
    In sum, "Bogancloch" serves as a thoughtful exploration of isolation and the relationship between people and nature. Through Rivers’ lens, audiences are invited to reflect on the significance of these themes while immersing themselves in the beauty of the landscapes and the depth of the characters’ lives.
