Prendo in prestito le magiche parole di uno degli "abitanti" più importanti del mio Pantheon, lo scrittore tedesco KLAUS MANN, che nel suo libro "La Svolta" elencava gli scrittori cui tributava grande reverenza, nel suo Olimpo/Pantheon personale. Ebbene, se potessi entrare in un tale luogo magico, per incontrarli o anche solo ammirarli da lontano, questi sicuramente lo abiterebbero a buon diritto!

 

I borrow the magic words of one of the most important "inhabitants" of my Pantheon, the German writer KLAUS MANN: in his book "The Turning Point" he listed the writers to which he granted great reverence, in his own Olympo/Pantheon. Well, if I could enter into such a magic place, to meet them or just to admire them from far, they certainly would reside there with good reason!

CINEMA

SONO UNA GRANDE APPASSIONATA DI CINEMA!!

Concordo con il regista Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (autore del bellissimo film "Le Vite degli Altri") nell'affermare che la RECITAZIONE è l'Arte più grande che esista. Ho sempre ammirato il talento, il bagaglio culturale e le doti fisiche ed espressive di un attore o un'attrice. Fin da piccola, anche nelle letture, non ho mai potuto fare a meno di visualizzare un personaggio di un libro con le caratteristiche estetiche di un certo attore.

 

Mi piacciono i film sulla 1° e 2° Guerra Mondiale, i western, le commedie, i musical e i film drammatici.

Non disdegno la Fantascienza e i Gialli, se di buona qualità.

Non sopporto i film horror e splatter.

 

Amo molti attori di ieri e di oggi, è difficile scegliere quale preferisco, perché erano/sono molto bravi.

I'M A BIG MOVIE-GOER!!!

I'm agree with the director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (author of the beautiful movie "Das Leben der Anderen) in asserting that ACTING is the greater Art that exists. I have always admired the talent, the culture and the physical and expressive dowries of an actor or an actress. Since I was a child, also in readings, I couldn't get along without to visualize a book character with the aesthetic characteristics of a certain actor.

 

I like films about World War I & II + western + comedy + musicals + drammatic pictures.

I like some science-fiction films and detective stories.

I can't stand boring horror movies.

 

I have many favorite actors/actresses and movies of yesterday and today, it's hard to choose the one I prefer, because they were\are so good.
