Gabriele Muccino will amaze us again. He will do it with Here now, an action thriller, in theaters in winter 2024. "Working with Will Smith - explains the director to La Repubblica - I learned how much marketing counts in making a film new, original, attractive. In the poster there are two boys and a gun. It's a love movie, but with twists. A story like Martin Scorsese's After Hours, all in 24 hours. An American girl who arrives with her sister, after other art cities, in Palermo and meets a group of Sicilian peers at the sea. It seems the beginning of a classic summer love story but suddenly becomes the opposite of what it promised to be". A must-see. Just like Paola Cortellesi's movie.
Rape in Palermo, Gabriele Muccino: "When a girl is drunk take her home. Teach it to your children"
Muccino, (almost) ready the new movie
"It moved me, I'm proud of it. We all perceive the honesty, the authenticity of what Paola tells". A film that men must see, emphasizes La Repubblica. Muccino agrees: "Yes, because it puts us in front of a heroine with whom we have no parental relationship, but who reminds us of our aunts, mothers, grandmothers. In that humble, apparently passive attitude, there is a deep pain that also belongs to men. Maybe more, because we feel guilty for what we have seen and inherited unconsciously, even at an ancestral level".
The career
Gabriele Muccino today is one of the most acclaimed directors. This also implies receiving criticism. But living with it is not easy. "I experienced it on my own skin, I was nice to everyone at the time of Ecco fatto, when L'ultimo bacio exceeded 10 billion even my masters, Monicelli, Suso Cecchi d'Amico, Scola, who had supported me until then had a sort of intolerance. Success creates resentment. I adapted to it, I live with an expectation that wants your fall, more than success". After Hollywood, he returned to Italy. And he's doing well: "Coming back to Italy put me back in the center, I only did things I'm proud of". But if Will Smith called him "I would go tomorrow. I love him, we are bound by many things, in addition to a movie that has defined our lives, The Pursuit of Happiness".
His happiness is seeing my high school friends ("I remained what I was to tell what I am"), "coming home to my wife, shooting with my son assistant director. In the face of the volatility of the world, everyday experiences become deeper". This is the happiness of Gabriele Muccino.
