Paolo Virzì, most pure Pisces, he brings the emotion of his signature to cinema. The clear, restless eyes tell it, lit by a subtle irony and a lucidity that broadens the gaze like a wide angle on our daily life.
With Mercury and Mars in the last sign of Water, intuition and courage merge: and it will be precisely the planets of thought and will that push him away from Livorno, “then a working-class city”, to pursue that “a little stupid, in some ways absurd” dream of making cinema, transforming escape into a vocation.
Taurus rising reveals silent obstinacy in reaching the goalpatience and an almost sensorial talent in capturing the smells, sounds and vibrations of cities, from Livorno to Rome. In his films, Italy shows itself naked: now arrogant and fragile, now very tender and lost. Often Unhappily poetic. It is a state of mind that the Moon in Scorpio allows him to explore without fear, transforming private fragilities into a collective fresco.

Since debut with The good life in 1994 until Five seconds with Valerio Mastrandrea passing through the success of The first beautiful thing with Micaela Ramazzotti and for the crazy and painful vitality of The crazy joy with Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Virzì described a narcissistic and vulnerable country with a touch of ironycrossed by irregular loves, ramshackle families, mothers and children in eternal conflict.
Only a brilliant and bitter Pisces could caress the human drama with the camera. And touch the infinite while remaining immersed in our finiteness
