ROME – After Queen Cate Blanchett, the pbadionate Michael Moore, the Oscar-winning director, Barry Jenkins, at the Rome Film Festival, the master's moment has arrived Martin Scorsese. The Sala Sinopoli was full of people and young people who, in the early hours of the morning, tried to seize the last places of the close encounter with the Rabid bull, good guys and Taxi driver since the notes were sold on the same day. Standing Ovation, Applause at the Assembly – tribute to his films on the occasion of the career award attributed to Scorsese by Paolo Taviani. Nicola Piovani, Giuseppe Tornatore, Francesca Lo Schiavo and Dante Ferretti attended the hearing.
A great director, a big producer (there are nine projects as an on-site producer) but above all a good moviegoer and that's why the director Antonio Monda asked him to choose nine Italian cinema sequences that have changed his way of seeing cinema and the world. "These are movies that have trained me, these are not my favorite movies because after seeing many other very beautiful Italian films, but when I was already a director, are movies that for me were not cinema: it was real life ".
tramp of Pierpaolo Pasolini "I saw it for the first time at the New York Festival in 1963 or 1964, it was a powerful experience. I grew up in a tough neighborhood of New York City and the first movie I saw where there were characters in which I recognized myself was In front of the port by Elia Kazan, but this was done by the studios and so it was something else. I felt immediately connected to the characters of Pasolini's film. I had no idea who Pasolini was, it was a shock because he came out of nowhere and I understood the people he was saying, I was surprised by the character sacred of the human soul. At the end of this film, when Accattone dies, he says, "I'm fine now, I've suffered enough," that's his holiness. Even where I grew up, being a pimp was the worst, so taking the lowest form of the human being, a protector, and killing him between two thieves with a prostitute named Maddalena, clearly makes people understand the message: the street people are the ones closest to Christ ".
The takeover of Louis XIV by Roberto Rossellini. "When I was 5 years old, I had a little TV home where I watched neorealist films: Rome open city, Sciuscià, Paisà and Bicycle thieves. They seemed like a real life and had a connection with my family, my real life. It did not seem like cinema but simply everyday life. At the New York Film Festival, the film Rossellini was not well received, but this master has reinvented the cinema many times with neorealism with De Sica and Zavattini, then with other ways of doing cinema, including this one: in the mid-1960s, television was the most important way and he used it to do something important with educational cinema. However, this film seems to come out of Caravaggio or Vel paintingsatzquez for the beauty of the image building but at the same time, it is not an abstract historical tale. Movies like Travel in Italy, Paisà have conditioned my way of doing cinema, as for example in Furious bull or King for one night, but they were also important for my latest films. "
Umberto D. by Vittorio De Sica. "I think this film is the culmination of neorealism.After things, it's a movie whose protagonist is an old man who tells the mutations of society." In the past, most adults The interesting thing about this film is that it is not sentimental despite the growing music, it speaks of a man who needs to eat and who uses his dog to survive.Normally in the movies who is cute with animals that makes the scene sentimental, but instead, he decided to work the dog so that everyone is nice with him ".
The place of Ermanno Olmi. "It's a very special movie." American distributors had the most important cinemas in New York and Olmi liked the movie so much that the first day he screened it for free. Married persons they were made with a style that he had inherited from documentaries and that was very close to my way of seeing cinema. Titles like The adventure, the road, 8 and 1/2 They really came into my life but The place to this sense of purity, in spite of the despair of post-war and industrialization, which I then tried to account for in some of my films Furious bull".
l & # 39; eclipse by Michelangelo Antonioni. "The first Antonioni movie I saw was l & # 39; Adventure and I had to learn to read it because my way of observing cinema images comes from the golden age of cinema, both Hollywood and foreign: that 's the way it looks. gave the opportunity to learn to focus and observe the cinematographic image. There was a big conflict between The sweet life and l & # 39; Adventure at the time of the release, I learned and experienced a film like l & # 39; Adventure especially as regards the space. In a sense, for me, it was like modern art. What maybe I do not understand (I've always said that what goes beyond the Virgin with the child I do not understand), but the final of l & # 39; Adventure It's one of the finest finals of all time ".
Italian divorce by Pietro Germi. "I studied this movie to find the style of Good guys, especially the humor and the spirit of the machine movements of this comedy. I've always been struck by the use of black and white and the satirical style of Germi, the whole story rests on the shoulders of Mastroianni from the very first scene in which the beauty of Sicily decanted by the train, there is satire but also truth in this story ".
Salvatore Giuliano by Francesco Rosi. "It's hard to talk about this movie, when we see the scene of the crying mother for her deceased son, it's not a mother, it's the mother, Rosi shows you the facts and one way or another, these facts are not the truth, because the roots of corruption is worsening more and more is the tragedy of the South. "My grandparents came from Sicily in 1910, I always wondered why they did not trust institutions. The centuries-old traditions of the South were an excessive burden for I had never seen a mother crying like a child on the screen, c was an explosion for me. "
The leopard by Luchino Visconti. "meaning and The leopard and many other works of Visconti have influenced The age of innocence but in this film, I was very interested in the anthropology of this life that had perhaps more to do with what I said about Rossellini. I was interested from the smallest detail to tell a macrocosm. He was able to combine political engagement with opera as a kind of unconstrained melodrama as with Rocco and his brotherswhich greatly influenced mine Furious bull".
The nights of Cabiria by Federico Fellini. "The first Fellini film I saw was The road but the final of The nights of Cabiria it's sublime, a spiritual rebirth. Fellini I met him several times, once on the set of The city of women: at the beginning of the nineties, it would have been necessary to make a documentary together, or what would have been a documentary on Fellini about the cinema, unfortunately, he died. What he taught me is that you always have to look for places close to the good restaurants, even if they are not very big, the important thing is that the restaurant is good ".
