The film by Riccardo Milani will be released on the 17th. «Disabled people are full of self-irony, they have taken away the handbrake on the fact that you can make a comedy about them. The actor: “When they told me call us handicapped”; the actress: “We are the other”
If only a liar … Gianni is an arrogant serial seducer played by Pierfrancesco Favino. Who pretends to be disabled by aiming for the new conquest, paraplegic, musician for work and tennis player for passion, Chiara so sunny and dynamic, with the shining face of Miriam Leone. A light will light up inside the ill-grown 50-year-old.
We laugh with the “invisible”, the others with us, those that fate has put in a wheelchair. I run from you by Riccardo Milani, out on the 17th in 500 copies that will give the measure of the market, is a romantic comedy, little plowed ground in Italy says the co-producer (with Vision) Mario Gianani. And here the ground is more slippery, on the subject of laughter on, indeed with disability. The director always tells “the worst sides of the country with irony, with the dormant hope of finding a pocket of positivity”. Gianni takes a nice trip in a wheelchair which, on the last lap, leads him to be “a slightly different person”. Favino says: «I have no problems with such negative characters, we look to those people for what they represent to us as fear. By attending them, I realized that I am disabled ».
Miriam Leone has put herself in the shoes of a girl who “lights up her darkness”; she discovered “that we are the other one” and thanks a thousand times (for her advice and straight to bring out the energy while seated), Giulia Capocci, the Italian in the doubles final at Wimbledon in the tournament of wheelchair.
They dodged the suffocating embrace of “compassion” thanks to the self-irony and strength of the disabled acting, then they lost all restraint, “without feeling guilty”; the one-legged boy has titled his Facebook profile “Smart boy”; the blind person says “we do not lose sight of each other”. Things in the film call them by their name, giving everyone a goof name: «Pietism (disguised) has been used for years with contempt and we don’t have a shred of pity, we are all worse and when health and beauty fail we stay out«, says Milani.
One of the last appearances of Piera Degli Esposti (Chiara’s grandmother): oxygen was not a stage fiction, it was hers. Favino’s ferocity has something of the perfidious of the Italian Comedy, when he was grown up: “There is even an involuntary memory from the legendary Gascons of the past”.
Happy to do a comedy? “Yes, I don’t like putting myself in a drawer, in dramatic roles. But the cazz … of my character concerns everyone, who has never told a lie to seduce, I used some grim tactics, then on the road to Damascus I got myself back. But there is a Gianni in each of us. In another film in which I was disabled, seeing me in difficulty they told me call us disabled. I would be happy if they saw themselves represented by this story ».
