[ENG] Esquire Italia: The natural and collective duty of anti-fascism

In the country that invented fascism, where a widespread rate of intellectual hypocrisy is such that it isn’t ashamed to distinguish between being anti-fascist and defining oneself as "not fascist", Sky Studios and Lorenzo Mieli for The Apartment, a company of the Fremantle group (which will have international distribution), in co-production with Pathé, in association with Small Forward Productions, in collaboration with Fremantle and Cinecittà, have launched the series M. II figlio del secolo, based on the novel by Antonio Scurati, directed by Joe Wright, on SkyAtlantic in January. Presenting it first, without fanfare, at the 81st Venice Film Festival.

This is the most important cinematographic work ever created in Italy, on the deafening truth of its fascist history. Never before has fascism been so authentically described in its identity as a criminal movement, constantly violent, dedicated to political murder, torture, brutality in all its forms, first to the punishment, and then the destruction, of democracy.

Benito Mussolini is a murderer, a criminal dictator, a hitman of freedom. Fascism has never had a shred of decency, historical truth condemns it for its massacres of civilians, for its racial laws, for the devastation it brought to all of Europe through the excitement of the idea of ​​war as a heroic necessity. But the memory of fascism, its traces, become confused until they dissolve in the family channels of Italians, who easily prefer to dilute, but without managing to absolve, the collective conscience of the least national State in Europe. In a country that should have the courage to be ashamed, through which to build civil conscience, M. Il figlio del secolo, is a visual text, a tool for reflection and teaching. Effective not only because it’s a bearer of truth, but above all because the language that composes it is dictated by the plurality of contemporary elements that are indispensable to maintain the attention and empathy of the public. From the piercing soundtrack composed by Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers, to the adrenaline-filled screenplay by Stefani Bises and Davide Serino, to the epic photography by Seamus McGarvey: the energy is constant. The light on the crime of an ideology without principles and therefore opportunistic, changeable, unscrupulous, is always on.

Those who don’t understand that Luca Marinelli, the protagonist of this eight-part film, suffered in dissolving principles and humanity to identify with the opposite of himself, offers the measure of the sensitivity with which they relates to the honesty of an actor's cultural work. Always reducing everything to the amount of material compensation that should justify and compensate for every disturbance.

Luca Marinelli had the courage to abandon himself to the evil that Benito Mussolini embodied. Evil is pervasive, it’s grotesque, it’s a caricature that becomes monstrosity, it’s many other nuances, but in its entirety it’s what opposes humanism, with the sole purpose of hurting others, for oneself.

Joe Wright, the director of M. Il figlio del secolo, is English. Did this help in placing violence at the center of the narrative as the identity of fascism, without discounts? 

LM After a hundred years we are still experiencing the aftermath and the new involutions of the story we tell. Hatred and violence are a concept that every human being can understand, in every latitude. Joe is geographically English, yes. But as he always said, it’s important to talk about people and not nations. The concept of nation is something that is mostly used by the powerful to foment distinctions that can lead to heavy tragedies. What we tell is a universal story: the life of a person, and of a country, that we seem to have forgotten. If you know history you cannot be a fascist.

And yet, Italians were fascists. Even the many who did not oppose were guilty. Is this the weight of history?

LM I am not a historian but I can say that in that period politics, power, institutions, the monarchy and the Church played their part. But there was also a popular responsibility. History is astonishing: the succession of its events leaves you stunned.

Your Benito Mussolini is intimate, theatrical, it tells of the fascination that the man was able to transmit to others. What explanation did you give yourself?

LM I think that the trauma that the devastation of the First World War left on Europe and Italy is underestimated. Violence had become an integral part of society, but this didn’t justify it. Mussolini applied it to everyday politics, surrounding himself with people accustomed to the use of violence and quick to exercise it. Mussolini exploited emptiness and desperation, with skill and unscrupulousness has generated a new mix, a political form that fools everyone and continually changes direction according to convenience. But violence is an indispensable constant.

When Mussolini has to prepare the lists for the elections of April 6, 1924, he realizes the unpresentability and unreliability of his gang of thugs. He enlists other politicians, of different affiliations, who surrender to fascism in order to sit in Parliament. The scene in the film says: humanity is disgusting, and it’s on this tragedy that we will build our triumph.

LM Having been an opportunist politician, I think he had no trouble recognizing these attitudes in others. It’s his ruthlessness that is associated with contempt in the human race. In the monologue magnificently written around his gigantic effigy, he says: wanting more and more until you take everything, this is fascism. And this is Mussolini.

What did you learn?

LM A lot, both from myself and from the people around me. I had never spent seven months on a set with three hundred colleagues. But above all I loved Joe's dedication, his placing himself before art as if it were a divinity. And humble before his craft, he is guided by this: for me, a fundamental guide, an inspiration. The long period of filming gave me the opportunity to look at what was happening at different times and confirm how art is a process of communion.

In the film you give many speeches. Have you built a relationship with words? 

LM They are frightening words in their ruthlessness and cruelty. They exude criminal ingenuity. The words were the first sound approach to the film. When I read the eight scripts in a row, I understood that I would have to do a great job of mnemonic organization. In many dialogues and speeches, the precision of each word was important. I made a plan to learn with the right timing, because his speeches, the role, required theatricality, but also authenticity. I didn't want memory to prevent me from feeling free to be there, in that moment.

What did you feel?

LM First a lot of curiosity, to understand how everything that was written in the script would be realized. Then I heard Joe explaining to four hundred people that they shouldn't be extras, but actors. That they couldn't just appear, that they had a collective responsibility. I knew we were all listening and their help was fundamental.

A challenging acting test?

LM A lot. The fifteen days in the Parliament chamber, reconstructed in an extraordinary way, were one of the most difficult periods. When we finished filming there was a moment that will be difficult to forget: a collective embrace between people who for seven months, ten hours a day, traveled together through history. A testimony to the common awareness of having explored the dark sides of the human soul and having touched the abyss. It's something that marks you. It took time to move away from hatred.

Have you ever had a moment of diabolical attraction?

LM No. I was just fascinated by the idea of ​​being able to honestly tell the truth with this project. I felt the freedom of being able to ride history without the risk of being misunderstood.

"After a hundred years we are still experiencing the aftermath and new involutions of the history we tell"

Among the criticisms received, that of having played a grotesque Duce.

LM Life is also made up of grotesque moments. But from a comedy situation we can quickly slip into a tragedy. We must be very careful to notice these dynamics.

In Italy there are not many fascists, but many non-antifascists.

LM In my opinion, for all those who care about the idea of ​​humanity and collectivity, it’s a natural moral duty to be anti-fascist.

<<Nell'oscurità di un futuro passato, io non potevo sapere...>> cosa volesse dire, Walter Garibaldi, in un'intervista di diversi anni fa quando scrisse che TUTTE LE ESISTENZE PRIMA O POI SI INCROCIANO ED UN MOTIVO C'È ma, nell'attesa dell'uscita del brano "#DOPPELGÅNGER (NELL'OSCURITÀ DI UN FUTURO PASSATO)", oggi, in concomitanza con l'uscita del nuovo video di @mattcarus che parla proprio di questo ragazzo, oggi vi presento @marco.matteazzii ovvero colui che, per quanto, nel brano, possa aver avuto un piccolo ruolo, quel ruolo è importantissimo nel complesso dell'integrità del brano che, sulla falsa riga della saga di telefilm andati in onda tra l'inizio degli anni '90 su #Mediaset ed il 2017 su #SkyAtlantic, #paramount+, #PluroTv, etc, #TwinPeaks, tra figure retoriche e metafore lynchane racconta il mio viaggio, tra consapevolezza d stati di coscienza, a volte alterata da abusi psicologici nella dimensione parallela nella quale, un'estate, ho avuto modo di fare la coscienza di una persona che è stata inconsapevolmente determinante per caratterizzare quello che sarebbe stato il mio futuro nel mondo del #sociale!

Ecco perché ho provato un brivido lungo la schiena quando ho chiesto a Marco di partecipare alla traccia... Perché non mi è dato sapere come mai le nostre strade si siano incrociate quando, per caso, una sera di qualche anno fa, l'algoritmo di #YouTube mi ha suggerito un suo video.

Sembriamo proprio due parti che, anche se si somigliano poco, sono fatte per congiungersi... Entrambi figli di un destino avverso che ha delineato il percorso del nostro cammino.

<<Un uomo canta una canzone tra questo mondo e l'altro...: FUOCO CAMMINA CON ME!>>

Among the many things to enjoy (if that’s he right word) about the HBO/Sky series ‘Chernobyl’ is the font used for the title cards. Apparently it’s a bespoke rendering of an old Soviet font known as Zhurnalnaya roublennaya. Created by the director Johan Renck (and his brother). Renck is a prolific pop video director (incl. Bowie’s ‘Blackstar’) though you may also remember him as Stakka Bo out of the nineties, yo. #chernobyl #hbo #skyatlantic #miniseries #tv #tvseries #font #sovietunion #typography #titlecard #type #stakkabo #johanrenck #futura https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQwngRhqDw/?igshid=t1cwnpxv2zr3
