Mario Martone’s ‘Fuori’ With Valeria Golino Gets 7½-Minute Ovation At Cannes Premiere
Mario Martone's Cannes Film Festival title Fuori had its world premiere Tuesday at the Lumière Theater, earning a 7 1/2-minute ovation.
From a script by Ippolita Di Majo and Martone, and starring Valeria Golino as writer Goliarda Sapienza, Fuori is inspired by Sapienza’s 1983 autobiography L’Università di Rebibbia( The University of Rebibbia) and follows her journey as the Italian publishing world rejects L’arte della gioia( The Art of Joy), the book she dedicated a decade to writing. Reeling from this blow, Sapienza is promptly arrested and imprisoned for jewelry theft, but there is a silver lining: she forms solid bonds with her fellow inmates and continues to meet with them over the course of a long, hot summer. Ultimately, the relationship between the two women serves to inspire Sapienza to embrace life and joy once more, although those around her may not understand their continuing strong bond.
