Film People Project

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

“Maybe Mamma Mia! is not my absolute favorite film, but it’s definitely my comfort film. I first saw it when I was 17, with my school friends, at a time in life when it felt like everything could be solved with an ABBA song, when you could be lighthearted, without complications. In my bubble, sadness didn’t exist. Every now and then I escape back into that bubble, because time passes and bad things happen. But whenever I feel like returning to that state of mind, I watch this film and it feels like I’m 17 again”

“Forse Mamma Mia! non è il mio preferito in assoluto, ma sicuramente è il mio film comfort. L’ho visto a 17 anni, con i miei amici di scuola, in un momento della vita in cui sembrava che tutto si potesse risolvere con una canzone degli ABBA, in cui si poteva essere molto leggeri, senza complicazioni: nella mia bolla non esisteva la tristezza. Ogni tanto scappo in questa bolla, perché il tempo passa, le cose brutte accadono, ma quando ho voglia di tornare a quello stato mentale lì, guardo questo film e mi sembra di avere di nuovo 17 anni”
