Declaration
film director
“In telling this story I wanted to pay tribute to the two worlds of cinema I love. On the one hand, American cinema, rather childish and sentimental, which I grew up with when I was a child: the cinema of dreamers like Steven Spielberg, of naiveté as a value, a paean to marvel. On the other hand, the cinema of my land, silent and sincere, created by artisans like Carlo Mazzacurati, made of dilated space, delicate and authentic feelings, overflowing with affection for normality.”
