Sophia Loren reportedly once said: "Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti." Whether or not the Italian-born actress actually said that, the quote suggests that our Italian counterparts think very differently about food than many American women do. Despite Italy's national obsession with la bella figura, and the worrying way women's bodies are portrayed in the Italian media, the country's attitude toward food seems to be pretty positive. In 2011, Megan Gadd visited Italy and wrote of her experience: "In Italy, eating isn’t a necessity or even a vice: eating well is a way of life." This attitude is shared by Italians of both genders and from all walks of life. Chef Nadia Santini, who was named the Veuve Clicquot World's Best Female Chef in 2013, explained what made Italian food and attitude towards cuisine so special in an April 2013 interview for Fine Dining:
Oh wow, it's been a while since my last Film&Fashion Fridays post! It's not like I haven't been seeing movies lately (I go to the cinema at least once a week), or that I ran out of notable films (that would never happen), but rather I couldn't seem to organize myself to do these posts when they're supposed to be done (aka Fridays!). Or at least schedule them. Without further ado, here's a strange coincidence that happened this week - I still home ready to go my obligatory Spanish class in school and I was playing 45s - you ever do that ''one more song and then I'm REALLY going'' thing? Well, my song this time was the intoxicating Porque te vas. ...and just when I get to my class, guess what the teacher does? She invites us to watch Cria Cuervos (which has this song as its theme) instead of having our regular class! Now how cool/strange is that?! I remember watching it about 8 years ago and really liking it; and, of course, obsessing over Porque te vas ever since. I didn't remember much of the film, except that I was really shocked to discover all the political undertones upon reading some essays (it was made the year Franco died; yep, I'm pretty much a history/politics ignoramus). Upon watching it again... the story was almost more clear, even though we watched it with Spanish subs (doh). What was more shocking to me now I guess was how sensual and disturbing the film was. Oh, and the outfits!! I mean Anna Torrent's costumes are pretty much to die for ! I know this sounds very disturbing, especially if you consider she was like 8 at the time and they're pretty much standard schoolgirl things like pleated skirts with pan collar shirts and cardigans, or a turtleneck instead. I mean - doesn't that sound pretty much like a vintage blogger's uniform? There's also a pretty swoon amount of 70s classy elegance and 40s-inspired dresses. But I think what really steals the film is Geraldine Chaplin playing both grown up Anna and her deceased mother. In Spanish! Which my teacher confirmed it was really her voice as she was married to the director and loved Spanish culture. Her accent is pretty mind-boggling. Or she might actually have her facts wrong as everywhere on the internet the critics say her voice as ''older Anna'' was dubbed by a Spanish actress. It's truly a classic, pretty much film student entry level classic even, but in case you haven't seen it yet - well, you better see it! And not because it's foreign and set in the 70s with amazing cinematography and a sweet soundtrack - but because it's this cruel tender story of three little girls who just lost their parents living in this big old mansion in the middle of Madrid in their little garden enclave with their maid/nanny and aunt, it's a story about living in the past, about coming on age and ultimately, change. There's a beautiful Criterion release (and a great essay), but it must be amazing to see in theaters (especially on film)!
Alla vigilia della morte della nonna, Nelly incontra Marion: due bambine uguali e misteriosamente complici affrontano senza saperlo il lutto e alcuni momenti critici del rapporto madre-figlia. La Sciamma regala un film-bomboniera, essenziale in tutto, che riporta l'empatia alla semplicità e l'attenzione del pubblico sulle domande dei più piccoli e sul turbamento che l'infanzia può ricevere dal concetto di mortalità. Delicato, cristallino, miglior film ad Alice nella città 2021.
Es difícil escribir sobre Petite maman (2021, Céline Sciamma) sin desvelar ningún misterio (no los llamaremos spoilers, aquí son misterios) y, lo más importante, sin mentir
