I’m on my way to LA for the 2015 edition of CinemaItalianStyle – the amazing showcase for contemporary Italian cinema. This year it takes place from November 12th to 16th and will feature Non Essere Cattivo, Don’t Be Bad from director Claudio Caligari; it’s the Italian Entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards. Hopefully I’ll get a chance for a selfie with that adorable Luca Marinelli or Alessandro Borghi, “Numero 8” from Suburra. MAGARI PAOLO SORRENTINO?
