FUORI AT THE NASTRO D'ARGENTO FILM AWARD

Mario Martone's film FUORI won a slew of awards at the Nastro d'Argento, one of the most important and prestigious Italian Film Award, the only institutional award recognized by the Mic – Ministry of Culture ‘of National Cultural Interest’, held since 1946, in particular:

- Valeria Golino as Best Leading Actress
- Matilda De Angelis and Elodie (ex aequo) as Best Supporting Actresses.

FUORI tells the touching human story of Goliarda Speranza, an extraordinary Sicilian writer and actress ended up in prison, in Rebibbia, after a crazy and unexpected crime, but her contact with the young inmates somehow regenerates her. Having been released, in a torrid Roman summer in which time seems to be suspended, she continues to meet the women whom she had befriended and who are now outside. On the streets of Rome, in a night that never ends, a friendship is born that is decisive for her life and that no one on the outside will be able to understand.

FUORI contains the song ROUND MIDNIGHT (Thelonious Monk), in the scene where, in the kitchen, Goliarda fries the last egg she found in the empty fridge and gulps it down with a lot of bread, to calm that heartburn that so much coffee, mixed with disappointment, has caused. As if that were not enough, she drinks some whisky as well, throws herself down on the first sofa she comes to, deciding to lie down for a moment and rest. There is a great deal of clutter around: books, notebooks, cigarette butts, lots of sheets of paper with writing on them. She starts to write, then falls asleep. The phone rings, she wakes up and goes to answer it.
