Sorrentino’s fetish director remembered her during the David awards ceremony
Antonio Capuano raised his David di Donatello to the sky, and dedicated it to Willy, to his life that passed away a month ago, don’t say dead, what an ugly word…. Willy was the Dutch wife. A disease? She was fine, in the last five to six months she had stomach pains, we went to a gastroenterologist, the colon was completely closed … And she went down and down. They met in the 1960s in Naples. The Neapolitan director just returned to Naples after the David ceremony, he received the special one for his career. He had presented himself to Cinecitt with a dark sweater, not the tuxedo type who goes against the tide.
The day before in an interview he had told Corriere della Sera not to find himself in E ‘was the hand of God, the most personal film by Paolo Sorrentino, who triumphed by winning for best director and for best film. Or rather, Capuano said he was portrayed in a boorish and arrogant way, but he defended his youngest friend of many years ago, he must feel free to see me as he believes. Sorrentino did not take it, he says that Capuano, who is 82 years old and was one of the symbols of the Neapolitan cultural awakening, done like this, genuine, has always said what he thinks, not a privilege of the age. When he took the stage to give him the prize, they hugged each other, Sorrentino called him a master of freedom and vitality.
And Antonio, being moved, raised the statuette to the sky, exclaiming Willy, this award, which I do not deserve, for you. This is the story of a fairytale love. Once upon a time there was Willy. She had arrived in Naples as a girl, together with a friend of hers, to learn Italian. She had been here for a few months, she talked about it. Everyone was on her, in the exuberant din of Naples she could not go unnoticed. She was beautiful, blonde, green eyes, the classic Nordic beauty. She wore tight pants, my friends and I wore forced labor. Antonio came from a humble family, father a tram driver, a housewife mother, five children. Antonio studied scenography and at home they looked at him like the black sheep, but he brought some money to help and so, even though he had that strange idea of cinema in his head, he earned respect in the family. The black sheep became, in the hypocritical conformism of cinema, a white fly: The David? Of course I was pleased, but to see certain faces, certain horrendous producers….
Returning to the good memories, Antonio one day to attract Willy I dived into the sea, I was very good at diving, coming out of the water I greeted her, she smiled at me. Then?
