So I was in America and I thought I'll stick around while I'm here and just see what happens. The next film I did was High Art, so I guess it started with a sort of vague idea but really just a fantasy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm very into fantasy films.
That's the kind of movie that I like to make, where there is an invented reality and the audience is going to go someplace where hopefully they've never been before. The details, that's what the world is made of.
I've been in love with the cinema since childhood and it's a fantasy of mine to appear in a Hollywood movie.
It was an amazing adventure, it was my dream to be in an American musical... I really hope you are going to love what you are going to see.
It is kind of bizarre, but at the same time, I feel like anyone that gets into movies didn't fit into the real world, and so we made our own world.
Although it is a fantasy film, it's as real as it can be. You have to imagine that an audience will buy their ticket to a cinema and get on a first-class flight and journey to Middle Earth.
My dreams kind of came through when I went to see the cinema.
I came to the industry with wide eyes and an open heart thinking I was going to make a few films that really meant something that I could pour myself into.
There's something very dreamlike about film, and I will always be very fascinated by that, and I'm always tempted to go in that direction.
If you lived in a provincial town like Torre Annunziata, where there was nothing to do in the evening but go to the movies with your friends, the cinema was a world of fantasy. I had always been in love with it.
