Italy triumphs at the Berlinale 2020, celebrates two important awards, one of which for the interpretation of Elio Germano in "I wanted to hide". Award also for the film script of "Favolacce ”, by the talented twins D'Innocenzo, for a film that will cause discussion for phatos.
Berlinale 2020: the triumph of made in Italy cinema
Important prizes, therefore, for the Italians competing at the Berlin Film Festival. And we can say that the Berlinale 2020 is in the sign of Romanism. It was a great evening for Italian cinema. The Silver Bear for Best Screenplay went to Bad stories, thirty-one-year-old twins Damiano and Fabio D'Innocenzo, also Roman. Born in Tor Bella Monaca and raised between Anzio, Nettuno and Lavinio following their fisherman father, they told an interesting insight.
However, on the stage of the Berlinale, in front of a high-level jury, led by President Jeremy Irons, Elio Germano stood out above all. In fact, he was awarded the silver bear as best actor. I wanted to hide di Giorgio Rights, dedicated to the painter Ligabue, triumphed! He dedicated the important recognition to “All the crooked, the wrong, the outcast”.
Toni Ligabue honored at the Berlinale
Of course the prize ideally goes to Antonio Ligabue. He and his visionary lesson in art and life were therefore not lost. He believed that what you do in life is worth it. He said “One day they will do a film on me ”, and it happened. Elio Germano, in his beautiful interpretation, showed on the stage, under his shirt, the T-shirt with the painter's effigy.
Sometimes artists like Ligabue are fragile, and do not hide their humanity, but rather guard it, protect it, and then make it something great. Germano's dedication, therefore, is aimed at those who do not pretend to be strong, but who have expressed themselves. The painter Ligabue had already experienced a cinematographic transposition, showing the discomfort that geniuses often experience, incapable of "normality". Ligabue also knew the psychiatric hospital, and here, the thought goes to Van Gogh. He too had full posthumous recognition.
The D'Innocenzo brothers
For the D'Innocenzo brothers, on the other hand, the award was completely unexpected and moved them significantly. Together they wrote "Bad stories"At just 19 years old. Now they have grown up, but the art remains crystallized and bears the right fruits. Moved, happy, cohesive and united as only two homozygous twins can be, therefore, they tell each other surprised by the success.
The D'Innocentos have chosen the point of view of most small, to tell a "angry violence", also hidden in the petty bourgeoisie. Thanks to the children in the film it was possible to show and show everyone intrinsic love. Bad stories is a dark tale set in the southern outskirts of Rome, an isolated suburban space. In that world, everything becomes monotonous as life slips away dull. In this sub-urban setting lives a small community of families and their children, who begin to appear in adolescence. The protagonist of the story is the family made up of Bruno, played by Elio Germano himself in a great moment, and Dalia, Barbara Chichiarelli. Their XNUMX-year-old children attend local school. In this peaceful family portrait, however, there is a great restlessness.
Awards for two almost novice authors
The victory in Berlin therefore gives a well-deserved recognition to the two almost novice authors. In this regard, it was 2018 when they were in Berlin with "The land of enough", and from yesterday's prize, the step was short. The twins, united, to the point that they often hold hands, do not at all show that they have a look polluted by alienating modernity. They find themselves in a sweet dualism between childhood and maturity, which brings important awards to Italy.
