| DIRECTOR NOTES: | ||||
| Francesca Comencini, born in Rome in 1961, is the daughter of director Luigi Comencini. In 1982, she moved to France and directed the autobiographical film Pianoforte for which she won the De Sica Award at the Venice Film Festival and was nominated for the David di Donatello award for Best New Director. Regarding her film, Comencini said: "After so many years spent doing the same job as him and trying to be different from him, I wanted to tell how much I owe everything I am to him: I wanted to pay homage to my father, to his way of making movies, to his way of being, to the importance that his work and his commitment had for our cinema, and to the importance that his person had for me. Perhaps, I said to myself, perhaps now I am old enough, I am capable of it, perhaps now I will be up to this story. Perhaps is now time to say thank you. |
