Demons from the Roman church

Chiunque tema di sentirsi offeso da Angeli e demoni non vada a vederlo. Anche per me ci sono film offensivi, non vedo le storie di tortura come la serie "Saw"». È la reazione di Tom Hanks alle proteste di personalità cattoliche, tra le quali il vescovo di Potenza Antonio Rosario Mennone, anni 103, contro il film di Ron Howard dal bestseller di Dan Brown, presentato ieri a Roma in prima mondiale alla stampa internazionale. La Sony, che distribuisce Angeli e demoni - in Italia dal 13 maggio in 800 copie e nel resto del mondo dal 15 - ha scelto Roma per l' evento perché il film è stato girato qui. Almeno in parte, visto che, ricorda Ron Howard, "After the first day of shooting we were denied many locations. I did not expect to turn a collaborative manner and in churches or in the Sistine Chapel, but I did not believe that 'the Vatican's influence was so strong that in turn prevent us from external sites. We have solved otherwise, the frustration is that we wanted to show the film to some priests, but did not agree. Criticize him without seeing him. " Moreover, according to the director, "Angels and Demons is not anti-Catholic, it's just a thriller full of 'Share' tensione.È for the first time I do a sequel, but I could not refuse a film in which is interwoven with 'antimatter with 'election of a Pope's The Da Vinci Code was more faithful to the book, had a rate more relaxed and the topic was more challenging to the Church. But when I talk to the priests off records everyone agrees that neither the book nor the film influenced the faith of believers. " Even if St. Peter, and almost all the interiors were rebuilt in Hollywood, Angels and Demons in Rome c 'is, indeed, the film is a great spot for the city, where Professor Robert Langdon (Hanks) is called to interpret the signs of 'ancient sect of the Illuminati, who have kidnapped four cardinals eligible candidates and threaten the destruction of the city with' antimatter stolen from CERN in Switzerland. The international cast, there are the 'Israeli Ayelet Zurer (a scientist), the' English Ewan McGregor (the Chamberlain), Swede Stellan Skarsgaard (head of the Swiss), German Armin Mueller-Stahl (cardinal). 'S Italy, in addition to the prelate played by Cosimo Fusco, c' is Pierfrancesco Favino, the 'inspector Olivetti accompanying Langdon in the frantic search to solve the mystery of the signs. Tom Hanks knows the city as a tourist, "but this time I stayed there four months, rotating among the churches and monuments, I realized the power of the Vatican, which is not only a city of government, but a multinational corporation with a lot of business, a kind Toshiba. L 'actor understands "the fascination of the mystery of the Church, the ritual of the Council, the costumes of the cardinals. Each category has its own customs, Washington i politici si vestono tutti nello stesso modo. E quando lavoravo come bellboy dovevo portare la giacca uguale a quella degli altri ragazzi». Figlio di «genitori che hanno divorziato più volte, ho vissuto in famiglie di varie religioni, tutte con la certezza assoluta della verità: per questo non riesco ad affidarmi a nessuna. Ma rispetto chi crede, mia moglie è grecoortodossa e i miei due figli sono battezzati», dice l' attore. Che è anche regista e produttore. «Non volevo stare alla mercè del telefono in attesa di un ruolo e ho cominciato a scrivere storie e sviluppare progetti. Adesso non sono più un uomo da affittare, ho una mia attività creativa». Attore da Oscar, Tom Hanks è anche una persona simpatica, ironica, generosa, lodato oltre che da Howard - «Con lui c' è un legame di complicità, da compagni di stanza al college» - da tutti quelli del cast. Senza difetti? «Da bambino rubavo la marmellata, finché mi hanno scoperto. A parte gli scherzi, non sono perfetto,è solo che evito di dire verità sgradevoli. E mi diverto a rispettare le regole: nel lavoro e nella vita». Le regole sono quelle di un democratico, convinto sostenitore di Obama. «I suoi cento giorni di governo sono niente rispetto ai problemi da risolvere. I presidenti in genere arrivano alla Casa Bianca e cominciano a realizzare il loro programma, nessuno si è trovato come Obama, costretto ad occuparsi di tante crisi dolorose e difficili. Per giudicare Obama e il suo programma dobbiamo aspettare». - MARIA PIA FUSCO Repubblica

difficulties in the film shocks Cannes Von Trier

Antichrist è un film che ho scritto di getto, di istinto, senza troppe analisi". Lars von Trier festeggia 25 anni di cinema e racconta del suo ultimo film, Antichrist appunto, in concorso al Festival di Cannes e in uscita il 22 maggio in Italia (distribuito da K Films). Del film finora si sono viste alcune immagini e il trailer. Una è un'immagine degli unici due interpreti, Willem Dafoe e Charlotte Gainsbourg, che fanno l'amore sdraiati ai piedi di un grande albero, dai cui rami spuntano mani umane che li accarezzano, un'immagine impressionante. Il trailer è decisamente più tradizionale. "Se hai visto il trailer, in pratica hai visto tutto il film" dice Lars von Trier con una smorfia. La storia di Antichrist è semplice: un uomo e una donna si ritirano in un piccolo rifugio in una foresta a piangere la perdita del figlio e cercare di andare avanti con la loro vita.

Nella fase preparatoria lei ha visto moltissimi film dell'orrore giapponesi. Che impronta ha dato al suo film dopo averli visti?
"Alcuni dei film giapponesi dell'orrore che ho visto erano molto piacevoli e ben fatti. Per esempio "The ring". Ma non mi hanno influenzato direttamente. Sono pervenuto ormai a una mia versione personal horror: a film is often in the wake of the genus to which it belongs after it passed through my hands. If I start with wanting to make a horror movie, then maybe I end up doing something even more extreme. Like here.

The film reflects something of his personal life?
"No, not really. Antichrist is greatly inspired to Strindberg. But Dante was a great inspiration to me. After all, who was not influenced? The film as well as other issues, also addresses the character of a therapy, then something that I have experienced directly. "

The film has only two characters: a novelty for its cinema.
"It was exciting to do something completely new. You think that a film that is destined to be boring, but I hope it is not at all. If, however, around twice the same type of film for sure I'm bored. And to avoid to be bored, I like to experiment, always try my hand at something new. I go where it takes me a passion. "

Why did you choose Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg?
"It was wonderful to work with both. Charlotte is a very private person. It came late in this production, and I think part of the problem we have encountered in finding an actress really interested in the project depends on the nature somehow pornographic the film. Let's face it: not a movie for everyone. I guess this is the reason for which many actresses refused to order the part. Willem Defoe was too great with all the challenges he has faced. "

Where does the title" Antichrist "?
" It's a title well spot on. It is difficult to explain why the film is titled just that. I'm sure that viewers will find out very different conclusions about it. "

In the film, it seems that you do not explicitly speak of religion, but what is your position on this issue?
" I am increasingly convinced that religion is just a bunch of nonsense. It seems to me that some people have invented something to make everyone else behave in a certain way. Religion is a set of laws created by men, who have nothing divine. Maybe there is something divine in the world - I would not exclude it - but keep in mind that I am a democrat, it is difficult to choose one religion over another. Which one should I choose? Does that seem fair that those who live in a given continent should be saved and the other peoples must be allocated to eternal condemnation? ".

He said he came into therapy. Why?
" Three years ago I suffered from depression for the first time in my life. With this film, I tried to react, to recover than when I was lying in bed staring at the wall for days. I did it for two months, without interruption, without having the energy to do anything else. It was a very difficult. At that point not even imagine to come back to do another film. This means that Antichrist is not just that I have worked at full capacity. The doctors have told me that further drug therapies for up to five years after the depression. "

has no idea why it has fallen into depression?
" No one knows exactly for what reasons they fall into depression but I have my own theory. For years, fight against certain phobias and I believe that when the phobia becomes intolerable, the body tries in a sense to take a break, and in this situation falls into depression. The intensity of depression can vary, and some people want to jump off a bridge. But in my case it was not so. Although some film critics may have hoped. "

What do you expect from the Cannes Film Festival?
" Going to Cannes is always an investment ... So I can finance my next film. "
