“Someone loves me over there”, is the title of the docu-film by Mario Martone which pays homage to the great Massimo Troisi. The filmed work is currently being presented at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival in the Berlinale Special section and from 23 February it will be in theaters with Medusa Film and Vision.
Tribute to Massimo Troisi
By editing the scenes from the films of the great actor who would have turned 19 on February 70th, Martone highlights Troisi as director rather than actor. It outlines his artistic parable from beginning to end, framing it in the historical period in which he was trained and in the city common to the two directors, the legendary Naples. With the assembly of film some conversations intersect, not with people who frequented Troisi, but with artists who loved him and were influenced by him.
Among these Francesco Piccolo, Paolo Sorrentino, Ficarra and Picone, critics who have studied it, such as Goffredo Fofi and the magazine Sentieri Selvaggi. And also two of the creators of his posthumous work, Il postino, Michael Radford and Roberto Perpignani. It's an exception Anna Pavignano who wrote his films with Troisi and whom Martone meets to investigate the creative processes from which they sprang. In fact, Pavignano collaborates on the film by making precious unpublished materials available.
The film is an Indiana production, Vision distribution and Medusa film production, in collaboration with Sky. The screenplay is by Anna Pavignano and Mario Martone with music by Pino Daniele, Antonio Sinacra and Luis Bacalov; a Medusa film / Vision distribution.
