Young Italian Filmmakers Come to the Fore at Cannes’ Un Certain Regard
The crop of Italian movies in various stages remains vibrant at Cannes.
Martone, who last competed for the Palme d’Or in 2022 with “Nostalgia,” is back on the Croisette with “Fuori,” a biopic of feminist writer Goliarda Sapienza – best known for posthumously published erotic novel “The Art of Joy” – starring Valeria Golino and Matilda De Angelis (“Citadel: Diana”). “Fuori,” which translates as “Outside,” depicts Sapienza during the 1980s when, after “The Art of Joy” is rejected by the Italian publishing world, she ends up in a Rome prison for stealing jewelry and forges a deep bond with a repeat offender and political activist named Roberta. Along with the Oscar-nominated U.S. actor – who co-starred with Joaquin Phoenix in Jacques Audiard’s Western “The Sisters Brothers” – the top notch “Heads or Tails?” cast also comprises rising French star Nadia Tereszkiewicz (“Red Island,” “The Crime Is Mine”) and Italy’s Alessandro Borghi (“The Eight Mountains,” “Supersex”), in lead roles.
