00:00 the Italian audience will regain confidence in Italian cinema
00:02 when the Italian actors will be seen entering international productions.
00:07 And the little battle I'm fighting,
00:11 for which I say that Italian roles must be played by Italian actors,
00:16 is because when Alessandro Borghi,
00:20 Sabrina Impacciatore or Luca Marinelli
00:23 are in an international production,
00:25 the Italian audience will feel represented in what is considered to be A or B level cinema.
00:33 If we allow our roles to be played by non-Italian actors,
00:39 which is unique in the world at the moment,
00:41 we will always be in the same league,
00:46 but always for the role of a setback.
00:49 So this is a little battle to be fought.
00:51 When Sabrina Impacciatore is a candidate for Emmy or whatever,
00:56 we are all happy.
00:58 When Pierfrancesco Fabino is in an international film,
01:01 we are all happy.
01:02 When we see Oscar Marcio in the film with Kenneth Branagh,
01:05 we are happy and we think "Ah, the actor is doing it".
01:10 I think the Italian audience will recognize,
01:16 unfortunately in this phase,
01:18 that the Italian profession will be able to enter that world,
01:22 which is considered to be A level cinema.
01:26 And it is something that is happening all over the world,
01:29 and we should make it happen here too.
01:32 It is happening a little bit, isn't it?
01:33 Not much.
01:34 A little bit?
01:35 No.
01:36 Some small Italian...
01:37 No country in the world is allowing Pierfrancesco Fabino
01:41 to play, rightly, Kennedy.
01:47 Or Tom Ford.
01:50 And we are saying that the whole Gucci family is American Idol.
01:56 Without any problems.
01:58 So, is it ok?
02:01 It's ok for everyone.
02:02 I'm a little tired of being labeled,
02:05 with a cliché of the Italian,
02:08 in a certain way.
02:10 For me, an actor is free to think
02:14 that he is a Belgian giraffe.
02:17 And that is our job.
02:20 We exist to be what we are not.
02:23 I'm saying that Kennedy would be great for you.
02:25 No, because...
02:27 But it is so.
02:29 If the rules of the common game are these,
02:32 then we should participate in these rules too.
02:35 Especially when those who come here
02:37 have a 45% tax cut.
