Fandango Takes Sales on Silvia Luzi And Luca Bellino’s Locarno Competition Title ‘Luce’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Italy's Fandango is taking world sales on Silvia Luzi and Luca Bellino's Locarno Competition entry ‘Luce'
“Luce” – which is produced by Oscar-nominated producer Donatella Palermo (“Fire at Sea”) – stars Marianna Fontana (“Indivisibili,” “Capri, Revolution”) as a woman in her early twenties who has an alienating job in a leather factory in a cold and rainy town in Southern Italy “and feels the need to fill an absence in her life,” as the provided synopsis puts it. The directors also specified that they shot “Luce” based on a script that was “rewritten day by day,” using “real places, real people, sequential shots,” and “acting that is no longer fiction but a staging of oneself” before going on to lavish praise on protagonist Marianna Fontana for being “the heart of the film.” “Luce” is produced by Bellino’s Bokeh Film shingle and Palermo’s Stemal Entertainment with RAI Cinema.
