"Icon of solar and sensual beauty, so ironic that she declared 'I want to be Totò with boobs', Sabrina Ferilli has never been satisfied with being a very popular sex symbol, the brilliantly talented
actress
who moves between cinema, television and in the wake of the theatrical tradition of the Garinei and Giovannini ", said Piera Detassis.
"Working with authors such as Marco Ferreri, the Taviani brothers and Paolo Genovese, on the other hand, with rare discernment, were able to dodge too many spotlights, maintaining a profile of civil commitment and a filmography that, despite some amused evasion, never denied, in the cinepanettone, shines with beautiful titles and intelligent comedies that have become proverbial, from La bella vita, Ferie d'agosto and All life in front of Paolo Virzì to Io e lei by Maria Sole Tognazzi in which she plays the companion, in love, of Margherita Buy
. David Speciale for his commitment and beauty
, the smile without rhetoric and the praise of the non-ephemeral lightness that can transmute, just a moment, into the sorrowful gaze of Ramona, the stripper of The Great Beauty, her masterpiece as an actress " he concluded.
