‘Fuori’ Review: Valeria Golino Exudes Humanity In Mario Martone’s Refreshing Biopic Of A Struggling Literary Pioneer – Cannes Film Festival
‘Fuori’ review: Valeria Golino exudes humanity in Mario Martone’s thoughtful biopic of struggling literary pioneer Goliarda Sapienza.
Although her induction into prison is a humiliating, dehumanizing experience (“Are you wearing a wig?” asks a warden, tugging her hair and demanding she strip), Sapienza doesn’t seem overly traumatized, holding her own within the hierarchies that exist behind bars and even getting her hands dirty in a fist fight. She becomes friends with one young girl in particular — Roberta (Matila De Angelis) — a seemingly hardened career criminal who becomes a big part of Sapienza’s life, a tight friendship that, over time, will become more of a fractious, mother-daughter surrogacy. Drugs are a given, and Roberta has built up a pretty serious junk habit, but, this being Italy, the radical left is at its height, and many women have connections to the Brigate Rosse, one of the many outlaw European outfits of the time carrying out robberies, kidnappings and sabotage.
