International Disruptors: Indiana Execs Reflect On Tapping Into Spirit Of UK Costume Dramas For Italian-Language Drama ‘The Leopard’: “We Were Among Six Projects Vying For The Rights”
Image
Welcome to Deadline’s International Disruptors, a feature where we shine a spotlight on key executives and companies outside of the U.S. shaking up the offshore marketplace. This week we’re talking to Fabrizio Donvito and Daniel Campos Pavoncelli at Milan and Rome-based Indiana Production. The pair reflect on their experiences driving Netflix-backed The Leopard adaptation and how it paves the way for further ambitious Italian-language productions.

With its majestic Sicilian landscapes, 19th-Century palace settings, sumptuous party scenes and ensemble cast led by Kim Rossi Stuart and Benedetta Porcaroli, this year’s Netflix-backed adaptation of Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa’s historical novel The Leopard is one of Italy’s most ambitious costume dramas series to date.

The show, which launched on Netflix in March, was the brainchild of Indiana Production co-founder Fabrizio Donvito and the company’s Head of Film and TV Daniel Campos Pavoncelli.

'Den of Thieves 2' Is on Netflix, but 'Everybody Loves Diamonds' Is Better
Image
Life is stranger than fiction. But fiction always has a desire to replay life’s strangest moments. They go hand in hand. This is certainly the case with the Antwerp diamond heist from 2003. More than $100 million in diamonds were stolen from the Antwerp World Diamond Centre in Belgium. Most recently, this daring robbery was revisited in Gerard Butler’s Den of Thieves 2: Pantera. This cinematic take on the real-world event takes a step further and brings the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, as well as the mafia, into the mix. The sequel to the 2018 crime film also did well enough to garner a sequel as well as spinoffs that will take place in different parts of the world. While the excitement is definitely there, interested viewers should know that another feature from two years ago also took a look at “the heist of the century.”

Netflix has had delectable historical fiction dramas from the Western part of the world. The European content, apart from the British dramas, however, often goes undetected by the larger audience unless there is massive virality attached to it. Netflix Italian originals like The Law According to Lidia Poët are some of the underrated gems. While The Crown still has its hold strong, the Ott giant has seemingly released a new historical drama from the lands of Italy. This show is a Netflix Italy original titled The Leopard. It was released on Netflix on March 5, and there is seemingly less chatter for a show of this caliber.

When Your Reality Shifts To Your Demise: ‘The Leopard’ Review
Image
‘The Leopard’ explores how the legendary Garibaldi's conquest affected and altered noble life in Italy and society as they knew it. After being in exile for 14 years, where he found himself involved in both the Uruguayan Civil War and the Ragamuffin War, Giuseppe Garibaldi first returned to Italy in 1948, immediately finding himself involved in the middle of the 1848 Revolutions, after contributing to various campaigns across Italy, including his work as a major general during the Second Italian War of Independence in 1859. Eventually, as the year 1860 came, Garibaldi and his Redshirts volunteers began their Expedition of the Thousand in an attempt to conquer the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Utilizing this unique tumultuous era of Sicily as the primary setting, author Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa explores the profound societal change that the Italian region faced upon the arrival of Garibaldi’s forces, more specifically from the eyes of those in the falling nobility.

Netflix’s ‘The Leopard’ Is the Seductive, Power-Packed Drama You Can’t Look Away From!
Image
The Leopard Netflix Must-Watch ( Photo Credit – Netflix )

Netflix has unleashed a new drama that’s already turning heads, a lavish adaptation of a novel that once teetered on the brink of obscurity. The six-part series, now available in full, has critics reaching for superlatives, calling it intoxicating, swoon-worthy, and a feast for the senses.

A Novel That Almost Never Was

At the heart of this spectacle is The Leopard, a 1958 Italian novel that almost never saw the light of day. Rejected by publishers during its time, it was only after the death of its author, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, that the literary world recognized it as one of the 20th century’s greatest masterpieces.

Now, decades later, Netflix has breathed new life into the story with a sumptuous adaptation that doesn’t just dazzle the eye but also cuts deep with its examination of power, survival, and change.

‘The Leopard’ Netflix Review: A Period Drama That Will Scratch Your ‘Bridgerton’ Itch
Image
There is something very British about the new Netflix Italian period drama The Leopard. Upon doing some research, it seems the Brits have, in fact, adapted this 1860 novel by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa to create an illustrious miniseries that will consume your senses from start to finish. The show, set in 1860s Sicily, follows the titular character, the Prince of Salina, and his family through a time of distress and fear. On the surface, The Leopard seems to be a regular period drama with all of the ingredients that make them so lovable: a love triangle, family drama, people going to war, and a lot more of the usual fluff. But what stood out to me the most about The Leopard is that even amidst all of that chaos, at its heart, it is a drama about a father-daughter relationship.

As you can imagine, the Italian countryside is an absolute delight,...

Italian Film Industry Restarts Slowly

The Italian film and TV industry was on a roll when the pandemic hit the country particularly hard. It’s now starting to bounce back as movie theaters reopen and productions prepare to shoot, while the Venice Film Festival, set to physically take place in September, may become a symbol of the global entertainment industry recovery effort.

Besides the festival, Venice in September is expected to host Tom Cruise on the Grand Canal as Paramount’s “Mission: Impossible 7” is scheduled to restart filming — one of roughly 40 shoots, which includes 17 feature films, 19 TV series and some shorts — that ground to a halt in March when Italy went into lockdown.

The deal for German remake rights was inked during lockdown by Italy’s Vision Distribution and Dcm. Bruni’s latest work had screened in still unfinished form at Berlin’s European Film Market in February. Dcm is currently looking at various German directors and talents to attach to the project.

The siblings became household names in Italy in the 1960s and worked on more than 20 movies together including 1977 Palme d’Or winner Padre Padrone and docudrama Caesar Must Die, which won the Golden Bear for best film at Berlin in 2012.

The former charted the story of Gavino Ledda, the son of a Sardinian shepherd, and how he managed to escape his harsh, almost barbaric existence by slowly educating himself, despite violent opposition from his brutal father. Caesar Must Die is the story of inmates at a high-security prison in Rome who prepare for a public performance of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.

The Best Films at the 2016 Venice Film Festival
With the jury winners announced this past weekend (see at the bottom), the 73rd Venice International Film Festival has now come to an end. As always, it was a strong kick-off to the fall festivals, with some premieres of dramas that we’ll see over the next few months, as well as a great many that won’t arrive until next year (or perhaps later, pending distribution). We’ve wrapped up the festival by selecting our 9 favorite films, followed by our complete coverage. Check out everything below and let us know what you’re most looking forward to.

Austerlitz (Sergei Loznitsa)

Having experimented with feature-length fiction films, shorts, and archival-footage documentaries in the course of his career, Sergei Loznitsa’s output since his 2014 Ukrainian crisis documentary Maidan has both garnered him greater acclaim than before and zeroed in on cinema as a collectively generated form. – Tommaso T.

Maraviglioso Boccaccio Movie Review
Contes italiens (2015)
Title: Maraviglioso Boccaccio Director: Paolo and Vittorio Taviani Starring: Lello Arena, Paola Cortellesi, Carolina Crescentini, Flavio Parenti, Vittoria Puccini, Michele Riondino, Kim Rossi Stuart, Riccardo Scamarcio, Kasia Smutniak, Jasmine Trinca and Josafat Vagni. The Taviani Brothers, have decided to tribute one of Italy’s greatest Renaissance humanist, Giovanni Boccaccio. The “Decameron” which has had many screen adaptations – the most memorable was by Pier Paolo Pasolini - lives again through the subtle direction of the Tuscan sibling filmmakers, who chose Giotto and Masaccio to inspire their cinematography, scenography and costume design. The book by Boccaccio is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales, told by a group of seven young [ Read More ]

Conversation with Daniele Luchetti about Those Happy Years
Those Happy Years (Anni Felici) director Daniele Luchetti: "I love improvisations on the set." Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze

Daniele Luchetti's autobiographical reckoning Those Happy Years (Anni Felici) about a boyhood in the Italy of the 1970s, starring Kim Rossi Stuart, Micaela Ramazzotti, Martina Gedeck, Pia Engleberth, Samuel Garofalo and Niccolò Calvagna, opened this year's Open Roads: New Italian Cinema at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. The afternoon of the luncheon at Barbetta, hosted by the Italian Cultural Institute of New York, I spoke with Luchetti about artistic upbringing then and now, the three faces of autobiographical filmmaking, how all movies need an evil, and his two upcoming projects on Pope Francis and a comedy on Berlusconi, who could be played by Tilda Swinton.

In Those Happy Years, Kim Rossi Stuart plays Guido, an artist who feels undervalued and misunderstood. He makes plaster pieces with naked women, lectures at...

Title: Anni Felici (Those Happy Years) Director: Daniele Luchetti Starring: Kim Rossi Stuart, Micaela Ramazzotti, Martina Gedeck, Samuel Garofalo, Niccolò Calvagna. Director Daniele Luchetti brings an autobiographical urgency to the story, by a narrator who watched his parents’ marriage unravel when he was a child.

Tiff 2013: ‘Those Happy Years’ is a fantasy well worth indulging
Those Happy Years

Written by Daniele Luchetti, Sandro Petraglia, Stefano Rulli and Caterina Venturini

Directed by Daniele Luchetti

Italy/France, 2013

In 2007, Daniele Luchetti garnered international attention with My Brother Is an Only Child, a nostalgic look at a pair of brothers in 1960s and 1970s Italy who find themselves on opposite sides of the political spectrum but loving the same woman. With Those Happy Years, Luchetti returns to the past once more, this time looking at family dynamics with the backdrop of art rather than politics.

The film tells the story of artist and art teacher Guido (Kim Rossi Stuart), who is struggling both to gain the notoriety as an artist that he seeks and to provide for his wife Serena (Micaela Ramazzotti) and children Dario (Samuel Garofalo) and Paolo (Niccolo Calvagna). Serena, on the other hand, cares little for art and instead just wants Guido to turn his attention to her.

DVD Release: Beyond the Clouds
DVD Release Date: Feb. 26, 2013

Price: DVD $29.95

Studio: Olive Films

Kim Rossi-Stuart (l.) and Inés Sastre enjoy each other's company in Beyond the Clouds.

Legendary filmmakers Michelangelo Antonioni (I Vinti) and Wim Wenders (Pina) teamed up to create the 1995 drama-romance film Beyond the Clouds.

Co-written by Antonioni, Wenders and Tonino Guerra and directed by Antonioni, Beyond the Clouds, told from the dreamlike perspective of a wandering film director (portrayed by Secretariat‘s John Malkovich), weaves together four stories of love and lust, inspired by Antonioni’s book about the enigmatic power of modern relationships.

Taking place in Ferrara, Portofino, Aix en Provence and Paris, each story–which always has a woman at its center–turns inwards in its examination of love. Or, as the late Antonioni put it, the stories turn “towards the true image of that absolute and mysterious reality that nobody will ever see.” Er, okay….

Rockefeller's Melancholy
In conjunction with La Furia Umana, Notebook is very happy to present Ted Fendt's original English translation of Luc Moullet's "Rockefeller's Melancholy," on Michelangelo Antonioni. Moullet's original French version can be found at La Furia Umana. Our special thanks to Mr. Moullet, La Furia Umana and Ted Fendt for making this possible.

Above: "John D. Rockefeller" (1917) by John Singer Sargent.

Drifting is the fundamental subject of Antonioni’s films. They are about beings who don’t know where they are going, who constantly contradict themselves, and are guided by their momentary impulses. We don’t understand what they feel or why they act as they do.

Psychological cinema could be defined in this way: it is psychological when you don’t understand the motivation of emotions and behaviors. If you understand, it means it’s easy, immediately, at a very superficial level... The filmmaker must therefore let it be...

Wearing a tank top and looking very down-to-earth, Kim Rossi Stuart tells me he’s tired. Indeed, he’s had a long day of interviews for his controversial film Angels of Evil (2010), and all of them in English - I am actually his first Italian interviewer. As it happens, the interviews have featured very similar questions, with one in particular which he had to answer every single time.
