(ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 26 - Neither Garrone's Pinocchio nor Laura Pausini made it, but there is still a hint of Italian in the Oscar night. The music of Nomadland (best film, best direction, best leading actress) and The Father (best leading actor, best non-original screenplay), five Oscars in two, bear the signature of Ludovico Einaudi. "And I feel a bit of those awards also a bit mine - says the master with pride -. A film belongs to the director who decides to make it, but then needs the collaboration of many people to make it happen". Would you have liked a specific recognition for your music? "I can't say that a prestige award like this won't please me, but I don't think about it and I didn't think about it this time either. In the morning when I wake up my thought doesn't go toOscar but if I can write another music table to give to the world ", he adds.
He didn't see the ceremony ("unrealistic times, but I woke up very early because I was curious"), but the heart was in Los Angeles. "It's a wonderful sign that Nomadland and TheFather, two beautiful independent films that talk about important and profound themes, have been awarded. I feel honored to have contributed my music to these two stories."
In particular, Einaudi feels close to Nomadland, despite the music not written specifically for Chloé Zhao's film (but belonging to the previous project Seven Days Walking), "because it corresponds as a sort of division parallel to mine, of a dimension of freedom, something that I express through music, and that the film with its language expresses with its story and its images.
Zhao revealed to me that music was used to edit the film, as if it were a key to reading. "(ANSA).
