Film People Project

Film People Project is a photographic archive of people and the films that shaped their lives

Stardust stars Alberto Sordi and Monica Vitti, I’ve always felt connected to the Roman identity of the characters and to Rome, where I was born. I’ve always loved variety shows, vaudeville, a certain kind of Roman and dialect theatre, and the film is about two comedians who, during the war years, struggled to make a living through this profession. They didn’t even have money to eat, but they truly believed in what they were doing, and in a way, I see a lot of my own experience reflected in theirs today”

“In Polvere di Stelle ci sono Alberto Sordi e Monica Vitti: sono sempre stato legato alla romanità dei personaggi e a Roma, dove sono nato. Mi è sempre piaciuto il varietà, l’avanspettacolo, un certo tipo di teatro romano e romanesco, e il film parla proprio di due comici che negli anni della guerra cercavano faticosamente di vivere grazie a questo mestiere. Non avevano soldi per mangiare ma ci credevano fino in fondo e in proporzione ai giorni nostri rivedo molto della mia esperienza”
