READY? GO!!
A few hours from the
opening of the Cinema Excelsior's doors the volunteers are running
around with a frantic rhythm: pasting thousands of postcards in a
way that forms mosaic set designs, discarding the brand new purple
carpet, making sure that everything is in order to welcome the public.
The last indications to the usherettes from the wellknown director and
the evening quickly draws nearer.
Inexorably counting
down the minutes... the final customary touches before going on stage:
sorting out the seats, positioning the lights, ready? The people champ
at the bit to enter... the doors open! In order the numerous people head
for the stairs: sold out to attend the directing debut of the
popstar Madonna with her film Filth and Wisdom which started off
the 20th edition of the Trieste Film Festival.
A wild start
with a film filled with energy and humour, with great thanks to the
noted and irresistible performance of Eugene Hütz, actor and front
man of the gipsy-punk band Gogol Bordello. The hilarious
visionary comedy seems to shake the grand consensus of the public in
the auditorium: everyone pleasantly surprised by the directorial
gift of the Queen of Pop and fascinated by the picturesque
protagonist.
An opening
evening that has succeeded to meet all the requirements even of the
lovers of a more classical cinema: almost in the contemporary, a
restorated copy of Rossellinis Viaggio in Italia (Journey
to Italy) was projected in the Sala Azzurra, a film that in part
pays the festivals homage to James Joycse.
The wheels of
the festival are have been put into motion...
