Invitée du Grand Atelier, quelques jours avant le confinement, Monica Bellucci et ses invités nous convient à une discussion autour du cinéma, du théâtre et de l’image en compagnie de ses invités : Gérard de Cortanze, Kaouther Ben Hania, Tom Volf, Sonia Sieff et Alex Lutz
Elle a a joué pour les plus grands cinéastes internationaux, mais n’était jamais montée sur les planches. Après Fanny Ardant et Marie Laforêt dirigées à l’époque par Polanski, dans « Master Class », elle a incarné Maria Callas et dit des lettres de la cantatrice et des extraits de ses mémoires, sous la direction d’un fan absolu de la diva, Tom Volf, au Bouffes Parisiens à Paris.
Première expérience théâtrale donc après une carrière au cinéma aussi remplie que diverse. Impossible de la faire entrer dans une case, tant elle aime surprendre.
Firenze e Toscana, Rinascimento senza fine. La città ha vissuto due giorni indimenticabili di creatività e tradizione. Le sfilate di D&G, la mostra dei pezzi dei migliori artigiani, la voglia di rinascere.
Monica Bellucci shames a Syrian refugee in this clip from Kaouther Ben Hania’s drama ‘The Man Who Sold His Skin,’ which premieres at the Venice Film Festival.
The ongoing civil war in Syria, the plight of war refugees, and the intersection of First World commerce with Third World suffering are in focus in The Man Who Sold His Skin, a new feature from Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania, which premieres in Venice’s Orizzonti section on Saturday.
It follows Sam Ali, a Syrian man trying to escape to rejoin his lover in Paris who finds himself stranded in Lebanon. A chance meeting with a famous American artist provides a way out. He sells his skin — letting the artist turn Ali’s back into a tattooed work of art. Suddenly, the unwanted, undocumented refugee is a hugely valuable commodity in the art market. Yahya Mahayni stars as Ali, Koen De Bouw as the famous artist, and Monica Bellucci as Soraya Waldy, a high-society gallery owner.
In the exclusive first-look clip from the film below, we meet Ali after he gatecrashes a posh art show, only to be shamed by the gallery owner (Bellucci) who thinks he is only there to freeload from the buffet.
