The actress on July 28 will receive the Volont La Maddalena Award. Among the upcoming works, My hair hurts inspired by Monica Vitti and the role of Len in The brilliant friend 4
A North Star. the image that Alba Rohrwacher associates with Gian Maria Volont. More than a model, a point of reference. Huge talent, combined with commitment and intelligence. For me a north towards which to direct the path, one of those very few great ones, not just actors, who populate my pantheon. On July 28, he will receive the award named after the great actor in the 19th edition of the actor’s suitcase festival conceived by his daughter Giovanna Gravina Volont. I go to Maddalena with the joy of supporting Giovanna and her tenacity in defending this event. And I am happy to bring such a precious film Under Alice’s sky by Chlo Mazlo, penalized by the exit under the pandemic.
she was appointed to the artistic direction of the acting course of the Experimental Center of Cinematography.
I left there 17 years ago, I owe everything to the CSC. It seems like yesterday, I’ve actually been doing this job for almost 20 years. I was called, along with others, by the president Marta Donzelli. It’s nice that our generation is recognized the possibility of making a contribution to an institution that lives and must continue to live thanks to the great masters.
A handover?
I would say more of a coexistence between great masters, professionals and younger artists who have exploited those training tools and are putting them into practice. I am in the thick of my working life: while I continue to explore what acting offers me, I like to act as a bridge.
Sometimes she thinks what it would have been like if she had continued to study medicine
?
I think I would have been an actress anyway. I discovered it at the theater school I attended during the two years of university. The CSC made me sprout, it gave me the strength to transform passion into a profession. If I had not found this vocation I would have been less resolved person. Right from the start when, like everyone else, I worked in unlikely conditions, I was happy.
He often goes around with the same people: his sister Alice, his partner Saverio Costanzo, Laura Bispuri, Ginevra Elkann. A case?
And Daniele Luchetti, Marco Bellocchio, Paolo Genovese, Luca Guadagnino, Silvio Soldini, Jasmine Trinca. Director and actor speak different languages, working together creates a common one, a shared code. Creation has an advantage. Alice family, Xavier became him. With each of the others different and equally beautiful.
You mentioned Genovese, one of the directors who pushed her to the brilliant register.
I like it very much, but it doesn’t happen to me very much.
Perch?
At the beginning I faced dramatic stories, extreme characters, borderline, this idea was created around me. Or maybe I am a healthy carrier of that thing there, despite being very attracted to anything that is light. I am happy with the lighter roles being played. With Paolo, or in Zanasi’s Too much grace, some things with Soldini, with Alice. Even the strange and light tone of Marcel! by Jasmine Trinca.
Many of his colleagues and colleagues give themselves to the direction. She?
There are so many good directors, my point of view for now I put it in the characters. But never say never.
As an actress she doesn’t spare herself. Alice’s chimera, I told you about Elkann, Roberta Torre’s hair hurts where a woman named Monica identifies with Monica Vitti.
The meeting with Roberta and the character she entrusted to me was wonderful. A gift to work with Ginevra Elkann again. In my sister Alice’s film I do a little thing, I always like to land in her world.
There is also The March on Rome by Marc Cousins.
Open the Venice Days in Venice on August 31st. a great teacher, gives a speech on cinema and politics.
And then The brilliant friend 4. From narrator to protagonist, the new Len, after Margherita Mazzucco.
A landing, I can no longer deny it. If we think with Will that acting is also venturing, I can say this is a great adventure.
Do you like TV series?
As a non-compulsive spectator. I have seen beautiful things, for example The Crown or Succession. In such cases you realize how much directorial and actor experimentation there can be in a horizontal story.
A role that you are missing?
I have worked little in past ages. It seems paradoxical to me given my physicality. Piero Tosi at Csc always disguised me, he made me travel through time. Here, it would be the best: to make a comedy set in the eighteenth century.
