曾凭借《爱情故事》荣膺威尼斯电影节影后桂冠的瓦莱莉·高利诺,这次将在导演普西奥尼(《庇护我》)的新片中再度挑战自我,饰演一名在法与情之间挣扎的女典狱长,她出色的表演赋予了该角色极大的人性深度与悲悯情怀,从第一秒起便将观众的心牢牢抓住。影片根据真实故事改编,讲述意大利历史上首个女典狱长的传奇人生,她掌管着意大利最危险的监狱,但其强硬的作风却让无数罪犯望而生畏,本片在展示这名女汉子铁腕的同时,还挖掘出了她不为人知的悲剧往事。 COME IL VENTO (LIKE THE WIND) was directed in 2013 by Marco Puccioni and starred Valeria Golino, Filippo Timi and Francesco Scianna. It’s inspired by the story of Armida Miserere, a controversial figure in Italy recent history. Among the first women to direct a prison, she committed suicide in Sulmona on April 19, 2003, after enduring 13 years of anguish and loneliness following the murder of her man Umberto Mornile by the Camorra, and underground Italian crime syndicate. Shigeru Umebayashi, a Japanese composer with great artistic qualities (and the favorite of director Wong Kar-Wai), was enlisted to write the score. Given his masterful ability to transcribe emotions into sound, it wasn’t by sheer chance that he was added to the movie’s creative cast. Subtle and fine in his execution, no one but he could have illustrated this deep and complex story so adequately through music. A score of great emotional impact, it’s surely among the highlights of an important movie that earned many awards and great praise from critics and audiences alike.
