Sold out theaters and lots of applause for Valeria Golino, who brought her directorial debut, Miele to Cannes this year. The actress, who Americans know from the movie Rain Man, among other Hollywood films, had the chance to walk the Croisette for the Un Certain Regard Section of Cannes, but says that she wasn’t able to fully enjoy the moment: “I was so tense, I’d have liked to be calm but I couldn’t do it.
Accompanied by the films’ actors, Jasmine Trinca and Vinicio Marchioni, along the producers, one, her boyfriend, Riccardo Scamarcio, to whom she gave special thanks:“Without them I couldn’t have done it, I had only to think about making a good film and all the rest, the boring stuff and the trouble, they spared me of that.
They believed in me, and in all these months I would have lost energy. Since I acquired the book until the shooting a year and a half passed, then there was the post production, and without their support I wouldn’t be here.”
Of the theme of the film, euthanasia and a young women who decides that she wants to help people who want to die with dignity she said: “I think that the institutions and the politics are a step behind in respect to this subject and people should have more awareness and open-mindedness and be less judgmental in debating subjects like this one, the ending of one’s life.
