Il terzo appuntamento romano della rassegna PIÈCE UNIQUE propone tre artiste con altrettanti dittici di auto-rappresentazione. In ogni coppia di frame è condensato il racconto di un peculiare eterno femminino, dove l’io narrante si identifica con l’io narrato, o ne veste i panni, per rivelare un qualche sé all’apparecchio fotografico.

I due lavori di Elina Brotherus, sequenze della stessa scena, datano al periodo in cui l’artista - prima di spostare l’attenzione sul rapporto tra figura umana e paesaggio - lavorava con scarno stile documentaristico sull’esperienza relazionale soggettiva e sulla

presenza/assenza dell’amore. La stringente referenza autobiografica plasma un’onesta allegoria, quasi in cerca di un antidoto figurato a un dato turbamento esistenziale.

Il passo successivo è quello verso cui muove Daniela Perego. Nell’immergere se stessa nelle tensioni della metropoli contemporanea, l’artista si fa unità di misura emozionale dello spazio e crea un’esperienza condivisa, tramite la propria ambivalente figura di

soggetto/spettatore posto di spalle. Aleggia un senso di incomunicabilità, di vulnerabile e sospesa estraneità.

Quando Giulia Caira esce dal set casalingo dei primi lavori, è invece per rappresentare contrasti sociali o familiari, come l’esplosione di malessere in uno studio di psicoterapia sistemico-relazionale, dove la paziente è concepita come portavoce del disagio diffuso nel

suo sistema di rapporti. L’artista stessa inscena i momenti di quest’ardente nevrosi, in uno scenario di coazione claustrofobica esacerbata, nella percezione, dall’aperta dichiarazione

d’immanenza distaccata dell’osservatore.

Che il teatro sia privato o pubblico, la casa oppure la strada, questi double self risolvono la storica dicotomia fotografica in favore dello ‘specchio’ di sé, contrapposto alla prerogativa di ‘finestra’ sul mondo: l’autoscatto coglie un tessuto emotivo, è manifestazione di temperamento personale e rimando a significati universali.

Sono, questi, dialoghi in forma epidermica di monologo e - come abbozzi essenziali di storyboard - narrano senza fare cronaca.Privi di autocompiacimento e secondo diversi gradi di fervore, suggeriscono complessità e solitudini irrisolte, accostano e poi dissestano stereotipi.

All’osservatore, la possibilità di toccare e condividere palpitanti, caleidoscopiche intimità che sanno respirare la realtà per poi restituire una dimensione altra.

Ornella Muti: Five decades of Acting and Still Going Strong

Ornella Muti was born Francesca Romana Rivelli in Rome in 1955 to a Neapolitan father and an Estonian mother. She began her career as a model during her teenage years and made her film debut in 1970 with “La Moglie più bella” (The Most Beautiful Wife). Her follow-up role was in the 1971 film, “Sole nella pelle” (Sun on the Skin), in which she played the daughter of wealthy parents who runs off with a hippie they don’t approve of. The film offers a telling journey through Italian society in the seventies, with its political climate, breathtaking seaside, and the styles and cars of that time. Much of the film is set amid the sunny Italian seaside and captures the innocence and beauty of first love. Muti made her American film debut in 1980 with "Flash Gordon." She played the role of Princess Aura. She’s appeared in two other American films, including “Oscar,” directed by John Landis and starring Don Ameche, Chazz Palminteri, and Sylvester Stallone. In 1992, she w...

The Anthology Film Archives Presents: The Italian Connection: Poliziotteschi and Other Italo-Crime Films of the 1960s and '70's

June 19 – June 29 Influenced both by 1960s political cinema and Italian crime novels, as well as by French noir and American cop movies like "Dirty Harry" and "The French Connection," many Italian filmmakers in the late-60s and early-70s gradually moved away from the spaghetti western genre, trading lone cowboys for ‘bad’ cops and the rough frontier of the American west for the mean streets of modern Italy. Just as they had with their westerns, they reinvented the borrowed genre with their inimitable eye for style and filled their stories with the kidnappings, heists, vigilante justice, and brutal violence that suffused this turbulent moment in post-boom 1970s Italy. The undercurrent of fatalism and cynicism in these uncompromising movies is eerily reminiscent of the state of discontent in Italy today. ‘The Italian Connection’ showcases the diversity and innovation found in the genre, from the gangster noir of Fernando Di Leo’s "Caliber 9" ...

Model/Actress Anna Falchi

Anna Falchi was born Anna Kristiina Palomaki, on April 22, 1972, in Tampere, Finland. Her mother, Kaarina Palomaki Sisko, is Finnish, while her father, Benito "Tito" Falchi, is from Romagna, Italy. Growing up in Italy, Anna was a tomboy, and had a fervent imagination. She is known mostly for her prolific career in modelling. However, she tried her hand at acting and landed a role in one of my favorite Italian comedies, Nessun messaggio in segreteria . I consider it my one of my favorites because it brought together so many amazing, talented filmmakers during a time when they were all just starting out. Those filmmakers, Pierfrancesco Favino, Valerio Mastandrea, Luca Miniero and Paolo Genovese are now huge names in contemporary Italian cinema, so it's great to look back and see their work in a low-profile film completely different from the bigger-budget stardom they now know. Watch the trailer . Anna Falchi started her career as a...

Ettore Scola explores enduring friendships and lost ideals in 'C’eravamo tanto amati'

A scene from "C'eravamo tanti amati" Mixing both tragedy and humor, Ettore Scola ’s 1974 film “C’eravamo tanto amati” (“We All Loved Each Other So Much”) follows 30 years in the lives of three men and the woman they each adore. By examining how his generation changed after the war, Scola makes a film that reflects its era. Scola explores the moral, political and emotional evolution of Italy’s postwar generation and, in doing so, creates a film that is a chronicle of its time and a love letter to cinema. The story begins in the aftermath of World War II. Three friends — Antonio ( Nino Manfredi ), Gianni (Vittorio Gassman) and Nicola (Stefano Satta Flores) — emerge from the Italian Resistance with a shared dream of justice, equality and social renewal. They are united by their hope that the sacrifices of war will lead to a better world. But the decades that follow prove to be challenging as Italy undergoes massive social changes, from the postwar economic boom to the politi...

Federico Fellini: A Look into the Life and Career of an Icon

A Fellini family portrait “The term became a common word to describe something on the surface you can say is bizarre or strange, but actually is really like a painter working on a film,” said Martin Scorsese when asked to define “Felliniesque,” an adjective inspired by one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. The oldest of three children, Federico Fellini was born in the seaside town of Rimini in 1920. His father was a traveling salesman, so his mother was left to do the bulk of raising the children. One can argue that Fellini was born for his destiny. “You could tell that even as a child, he was different and unique. He was very intelligent, well above average. He was always the one to organize things, direct the others, make up games. He could control the other kids with just a look, said Fellini’s sister, Maddalena, in an interview with journalist Gideon Bachmann. Not only was Fellini directing the children, but he was also putting on shows and charging ...
