Throwback to this event from 2018 in Ostia after the screening of Non Essere Cattivo during Notte Caligari hosted by Il Cinema In Piazza.

I just think they are neat and hilarious at public events huge thanks to @weardes for tracking it down in this gifset.

Full video in the comments. Brief translation under the cut:

The host is thanking those of the crew who couldn't be there, and then asks everyone if they want to share a memory about Ostia or if they have anything they want to say in particular to the people there, since this was an event that brought the movie where it was shot after three years from its release, in some way closing the cycle with the palce too.

People didn't know who had to start and the host called Alessandro to speak first since he already had the mic.

Alessandro says that it seems like this cycle never ends, that even after so many years since they've met to make this movie, they are still here talking about it and this fact makes him, and them all, emotional. The only thing he can do is to shout his most absolute thanks to everyone for being here and to still want to watch the movie, and more in general for wanting to support cinematography. If one is in love with Non Essere Cattivo it's because they love a certain kind of cinematography, which is what they also love.

Then he makes a joke, aside from his huge thanks, he's passing the mic to Giordano Meacci (screenwriter), that way he'll have things to say for 40 minutes, and quote: "Nah, that's not true, look how handsome he is. And nothing, thank you, what else can I say? There's here Luca Marinelli who has something to say."

Luca meanwhile is taking pictures with an analog camera and is caught off guard, and says "Just like in the 90s." And Alessandro asks if it works with film, that camera, and Luca goes, "Yes, yes. You gotta develop it. Those things..." and makes a gesture to mean 'ancient'.

He then also thanks everyone and starts elaborating a reply. He says it's very, very, veeery moving, and this story really never ends. A while ago, when they were following and promoting the movie, they used to say it was like a book, every time you turn the page and it's blank then it starts filling in as colors start to appear, and seeing everyone here again– "it's been a while but... [emphatically] it doesn't seem like it."

At that everyone laughs and Alessandro cracks up, clinging to his shoulder, and Luca just closes with, "It's beautiful, thank you." Everyone claps and they move on to the screenwriters.

luca marinelli character FIGHT: Round One Part One

ARGUMENTS (spoilers below, and feel free to reblog with your own!):

Pietro:

“he grew up a city boy and summered in the mountains, befriending a local boy. he spends much of his life trying to replicate the feelings he had during those childhood summers, traveling the world to climb more mountains in search of the answer”

fairly strong i imagine, so there's that. whether he WOULD fight anyone is another question

Cesare:

“The wetest of wet cat sad bois. Incapable of doing anything right but will not stay down or be chill. Might win by power of sad eyes and gay longing.”

could probably win a fight or two, knows how to at least

Mod Comment: i had to photoshop alessandro borghi out of both of the above photos

I miss this man.

I miss.

HIM.

DISUNITI - Interview to Alessandro Borghi by Gianmaria Tammaro (part about Luca)

What kind of relationship connects you with Luca Marinelli?

<< The opposite of acting, in some ways, is life. Because acting means lying, it means pretending. When for some astral conjunction these two dimensions, acting and life, manage to coincide, something happens that is impossible to tell. It's an idea that moves me >>.

Why?

<< Because it's something that amazes you, even while you're on stage. It's something that moves, that goes beyond lines and characters; that slips into the ties that hold this work together. When there is, a "state of grace" is reached - I love that expression you journalists use. When they tell you, you get embarrassed. But when you use it to describe a particular moment, it's fine, it's perfect. >>

When did you first feel like this, "in a state of grace"?

<< On the set of Non EssereCattivo, in a scene with Roberta Mattei, who plays Linda: my character woke up and found her taking drugs. Well, that scene was incredible. I did seven, eight takes. And I couldn't stop crying. Because I was amazed and overwhelmed by this energy. And in every take, something else happened. In the evening, when I got home, I was devastated. I finally understood.">>

And with Luca is this what happens?

<< It happens with him, yes. And it happened with Felix Van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch, with Claudio Caligari and Stefano Sollima. When this happens, you feel invested by a great fortune: a fortune that you must try to transform into an energy useful for interpretation. And it's an extraordinary moment, I repeat it >>.

What?

<< That there is no more beautiful job than this; and when I find myself on the set with Luca, believe me, I often think about it >>.

The friendship that unites you seems deep. Beyond working and sharing the set.

<< I love Luca in a quite unique way. We are two very distant people, and we are truly different. And it's amazing, because we've been able to accept all our differences. This is, if you like, true friendship. And it's something I wish for everyone: when you can be happy immediately if you know that the other is happy. It happened to me with Luca, whom I seem to have known all my life, and it happened to me with my closest circle of friends, who have been the same for twenty years >>.

Like usual, sorry for my English

don’t be bad!

Since I stuck at home lately, so i rewatch some Luca’s movie...

[hugmetom]

if i had a nickel for every time alessandro borghi e luca marinelli were in a movie having a homoerotic relationship i'd have two nickels... which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

tog fandom's favourite luca marinelli movie: ROUND TWO

Summaries:

Non essere cattivo / Don't Be Bad (2015):

 “A story set in the 90s and in the outskirts of Rome to Ostia. A world where money, luxury cars, night clubs, cocaine and synthetic drugs are easy to run. A world in which Vittorio and Cesare, in their early twenties, act in search of their success.”

Una questione privata / Rainbow: A Private Affair (2017):

“Summer 1943, Piedmont, Italy. Milton loves Fulvia who plays with his love: she only likes the depth of his thought and the letters he writes to her. One year later, Milton has joined the Resistance and fights beside other partisans. He learns during a conversation that Fulvia was secretly in love with his best friend Giorgio, a partisan like him. Milton decides to go find Giorgio in the Langhe region of Italy with all its misty hills…But Giorgio has just been arrested by the Fascists.”

RULES:

ideally vote based on which film is your favourite, but if you haven't seen both / either vote which one you'd like to watch most or prefer the vibes of

or any other reasonable metric of your choice

propaganda IS encouraged and can be sent to me or added to the post

go forth and have fun!
