I'm going to begin with you Asia,
I mean, when you went in any movie in particular, a film like this
that needs to be a real element of trust between the directors and the performers
in both regards
And that must be such a given when working with your father.
I mean, it must make it
such a, an enjoyable and sort of easiest of film set to be on.
I suppose when you're collaborating with someone so close.
Actually, I must say, no it isn't,
because when we're on the set, we we're not father and daughter.
We are.
We have established this work ethic where
I'm the actress and he's the director, and sometimes it can be hard on me hard
because they're saying
when I did sex scenes in front of him
in the past, it was really embarrassing because he was my father.
But still he was, you know, he wasn't going to take my
humiliation, so to speak, of being naked in front of those.
I got to do it.
And and so it's a thin line. But,
you know, people may have this idyllic idea
of a film set where everybody's like
pulling daisies and we're having such a great time.
It's a really hard work, especially my father's movies for me.
And this one, it was easier than other movies,
but she had a really difficult role
with snakes.
The forest, the role itself being blind.
So for me, this time I was able to take a step back and enjoy it more than usual.
Plus, I realized that my father, after
acting in g his movie,
he had more attention, more?
Yeah, more delicacy, more, more kindness toward actors, understanding more
how it is a job and that we need
more time sometimes to get to places.
And Ilenia, was going to ask him about playing a character who loses her sight
and how challenging was that?
And did you have to cover up your own eyes when acting?
Because I guess it might be harder to act
if you were able to see said, Did you have something covering
your eyes during the shoot and what was that experience like?
Um, conventional experience are interpretative places that you don't
see sometimes.
Yeah. I
closed my, my eyes.
They opened my eyes.
[Translation to follow]
So it's
it got especially hard when we did the forest scenes
because, naturally, a blind woman can't
see for example the trees etc.
that she can't react by I in reality I could see.
And it was hard to not react.
Not to react when I was bumping into a tree or a branch.
And at the end of the film I had a scratch, legs and everything.
Because of these obstacles, it's really hard for me
and I love your performance in the film, but the young boy playing Chin
in this movie, when actors say goodbye to other actors on set,
it's probably always hard when you have to sort of
say goodbye at the end of a long shoot is especially hard when you say goodbye
at the end to a young actor, because I guess you formed such a close bond.
[Translation to follow]
.
So, um, this Chinese boy, you know,
the film was like one of my walking sticks to speak and my eyes
and we really developed a great relationship. And
also outside of the film work.
So the Chinese culture is much more distance than the Italian one.
But I'm a very
affectionate person and I embrace people and we have
so I almost kind of forced him to this culture of hugging.
And it was very beautiful because in the end
he came to the set and he used to come to me
and embrace me, and it became natural soon
and just very quickly before I do, because I going,
I, I love some of the work you do,
especially the what you did with your father.
Can we see? I can
We can see another collaboration between the two of you again in the future.
I don't we don't have
we never plan before what we're going to do
where people who live in the moment right now we're promoting this
and working on other movies as an actress, writing my own movie.
And I'm sure if she'll call me and I'll be there for not only movies
and for whatever he needs for the rest of my life for as long as I live.
Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you.
