(ANSA) - VENICE, 04 SEP - Immensity "is a story that looks at me very closely, it is my story in a poetic key, it would be reductive to define it as my 'coming out', the public would think of a film on transition but it is not not like that at all ", Emanuele Crialese told ANSA, in competition at the Venice exhibition with the new, eagerly awaited film, in theaters with Warner Bros from 15 September.
IMMENSITY with Penelope Cruz, Vincenzo Amato, set in a "metaphysical" Rome of the '70s among buildings under construction on the outskirts, tells the story of a family in which love is over and in unhappiness the mother grows three children, the eldest of which, the adolescent xx, rejects the sound name and his sensual identity.
"Times have changed, today's young people no longer care about gender classifications, in this they are teachers, bearers of a new sensitivity, male, female, they are what they are, first of all human beings".
Crialese, who is moved by remembering his mother and the support she has always given him in his journey, says: "I am a child of my time, but times have changed today", underlines the director of Respiro and Terraferma at ANSA.
"Families must be supported when there are certain paths to follow, my mother was alone, she did not know where to turn her head. I changed the 'a' to the 'e' and I had to leave a piece of my body, but I am a man and not , woman and no and I want to remain like this and I hope not to threaten anyone for this ".
In the Immensity at the center, in addition to the 'genderfluid' girl, there is the mother, the great archetype interpreted by Cruz.
"Female characters are the ones that interest me and for which I make films, male characters are a bore".
