SortAnd there was a counterpart, it would be “love” the one most used by Valeria Golinor, Matilda De Angelis and Elodie To preview the Italian press Outin competition at Cannes Film Festival And in theaters from May 22nd. “Not a biography of Goliarda Sapienza, but the story of a summer in Rome in 1980, a road movie on his friendship with two former prison companions (where he ended up stolen jewelry, editor’s note) »He explained Mario Martone who, with the collaboration of his wife, Ippolita di Majo (author of the subject and co-writer)was inspired by two books by the writer in which he mixes truth and imagination, turning in his real home and Rebibbia with the inmates.

The first to speak is Valeria Golinoand right. Not only because he brilliantly directed the Sky series taken from his masterpiece, The art of joy, But also because she really knew and frequented her. “It was my diction of diction when I went around Love story with her ex -husband, Citto Maselli (film that earned her the Volpi Cup in Venice, editor’s note). For a couple of months I went to her three times a week: I was 18 years old, she at the time was younger than me now, yet it seemed to me an elderly lady, although with a girl’s head. He was more curious than me than vice versa: who knows what I ever told that age “said the always intelligent and original actress and director, who, in October, will enter the category” Savoyer sixty -year -olds “.
“It is as if I had fallen in love with Goliarda, to get engaged in the long run who requested the gestation and realization of the series (six years of life) and finally get married by impersonating her: today we are a de facto couple”.
Matilda and the looks
“There has been a lot of love,” he begins Matilda, who plays the role of Roberta, habitual criminal and political activist. «A figure really existed but then became a literary character of Goliarda. He excited me to embody it in front of the many eyes full of love from which I was looked at, a widely reciprocated love: he is the most beautiful and stronger character that I was donated to me. I was not conscious during processing and now it’s like waking up from a dream. From Valeria I learned kindness and patience, from Elodie courage, lightness, taking me less seriously ».
Elodie and sweetness
«The link between these three women was inspirational: I believe that we three too will remain friends forever. Relationships are the only thing that really gives meaning to existence “Elodie intervened, which has the part of the other ex -prisoner, Barbara (” sweet, unaware, maternal and … apprehensive “)). “I already loved Valeria before knowing her, but after meeting her I learned to love her even more.”
Fortunately, to lower the glycemic rate of this exchange of cortesies (however certainly he heard), Golino provided with the usual sincerity. «I thought I was a free girl, instead the encounter with these two young ladies put me in front of the fact that there is a generational gap that I had not foreseen: this generation of young women is by nature freer than mine. In the thirty years that divide us, things have happened … “he observed. “My bon ton of the late twentieth century prevents me from being directed as them: in the head I still feel the voice of my grandmother tell me that the pink and blue do not put on … I followed them blushing, they have an extra gear: suddenly I felt” ancient “of the head”.

Males on the horizon
By admission of Martone himself – who had already been in competition in Cannes in 1995 with Harassing love and in 2022 with Nostalgia – “The males in this film remain only on the horizon. Central theme is that nobody saves himself, as you know, and that nobody is saved without the imagination. Goliarda suffered a lot from the impossibility of seeing published The art of joy to the electroshock, but if it has managed to go on and was thanks to the power of the imagination. Which is also a political factor ».
