7:30 am
we make a documentary about this. so we chose. well working on the film we didn't know if it was going to be a documentary or a feature. we just wanted to communicate the emotion here you mentioned mafia julius caesar is all about power about betrayal about murder does it have a particular appeal for people connected to math. people that i have a specific attitude towards towards violence. every. it is true. when we discuss shakespeare with the convicts some said william is our friend. many years ago five hundred years ago he told the story of us our tragedies our guilt of what we did.
7:31 am
when we spoke about jago and other characters they found in familiar. then made these people in the horrible scary world they came from where they were lead character unfortunately. speer has told their story. the acting was very passionate and the media story real. caesar he says i love him but i killed him. when we showed this part up close my brother and i were touched because we knew the through the actor it was not just a scene in a play. he saw something from his past. lives of his friends who were around him. one british director said this is the original to shakespeare unique in comparison to any other staging of shakespeare. you said in one of your
7:32 am
interviews i quoted that you were a little skeptical at first but the experience shock you to the core what was so shocking for you in the experience of working in the prison. is. the most shocking thing was watching how the inmates staged these plays. and rounds of applause afterwords. then we went back to our life for freedom and they went to theirselves. doing something together and they were free for a while and then this freedom was over. we left and they went back to their cells.
7:33 am
once we were walking down a prison corridor or there were give us a lot of freedom to move around and some cell windows were half open and we could see the convicts lying in their bunks. they get an hour outside but for the most part they just lie down in their cells. and one of them said. don't call us prisoners. sitting watching us because that is what we do here we just watch the ceiling. we feel so sorry for them. to because they didn't. i wonder if you and your brother had to talk to the prisoners before you start to jump production maybe it was your producer who did that i mean discussing it so what i want to know is that was that what was the first reaction of the convict's to the whole idea of performing and filming it. with enthusiastic.
7:34 am
yes they were and they love this they love this idea we had a lot of disputes with them in the beginning there is a theater director on the prison staff. and then who devoted his life to seating shows with a convict his name is fabulous and he's a very good director and so the inmates will already used to before me on stage. and when they heard about us they looked us up on the internet to see who these two brothers or that are coming to their prison to teach them something. and when we talked to them so i am sorry they like i mean you and your brother was that important that they would like you personally. see. i remember exactly that's my point that's the answer we got.
7:35 am
we selected candidates for their roles. and one of them said. i don't want to play activities because this is my friends. but we told him that his friend does not suit the role and it is up to us to decide because we're directors and we make decisions today has to be our way not anyone else's we said they can advise us but that said in response that person said you'd better be careful because we're not ordinary people like your actors for instance orphaned some children. he wasn't threatening us he just said that we need to be conscious of the fact that we're dealing with a different kind of people that are different from those we deal with when shooting your films. then we said ok if you don't like it leaving so we left and we waited to hear what they decided we waited for three or four days and already started to worry because we were already all hyped up about the idea that
7:36 am
we wanted to film it no matter what it takes we started staring at the ceiling ourselves and all we could think of was their reply and they called us back and s.s. to return and their leader the man who plays cassius in the film said ok we agree to terms we should do what you tell us because we respect you because you have a gift and also because you look people in the eye when you talk to them on the path so so so you had to play by the prison rules by that time the war i mean yes you had to admit that. i mean relationships between people no no no no no. no i wouldn't say that it's all on the sick return and also the impulse that we were making our film in the fold our direction in the film itself dictated the rules that i know the feeling itself
7:37 am
was the law both for us in for them as a boss and i thought they wouldn't have given us maximum freedom and the thing that inspired us most of all was that we could shoot a film inside the prison so for instance to portray brutus tormented by he still was in emotions whether to cure or not to kill would put him into a prison cell. other conspires in prison corridors actually it's about the power that comes from the place we feel and then because that place speaks the truth itself as we feel it. that's an innovation in film production and the public should appreciation for it to people. up it's up so filmmaker paolo attire vianney spotlight will be back shortly after the break so stay with us we'll continue this interview in less than a minute. on

7:43 am
welcome back to spotlight i'm al we're now than just a reminder that my guest on the show today is italian
7:44 am
a filmmaker of powell time vianney. city of teri and he you have made a statement about how art can transform anyone's life even those imprisoned for a life what was the effect of the play of the film on the con convicts was their life really transformed after they worked with you and. your career. i think they were deeply moved by the films one of them said that he could hardly recognize himself so local morse. we think it was a very positive and in lightning experience for the prisoners to take part in this play to see the public welcome them or. people have no see in the film and will not forget about these prisoners. they will come away with the thought that
7:45 am
inmates are human beings too just as anybody else even though they've been convicted of horrible crimes so. the prisoners are aware of the change in perception to. how would you describe the genre of the of this movie is it a feature film is it a documentary or a drama based on a true life story how do you describe it or is it in between somewhere i didn't know. i would see it's the kind of film which never me. to classify. during the production process i would often ask each other documentary a drama or theatrical performance. and we were basically guided her feelings without trying to mold it into any given narrative form. it does have some kind of narrative but not in the traditional way so it's really hard for me to classify the
7:46 am
film. one thing i'm sure of is that the film was so successful in italy because people there were able to classify it because people were astonished and it's a boasting that's what people told me they had the impression that the film was made by a young director. it is true to a certain extent we're both in our eighty's no it was when we started the shooting carried away by the process that we often told each other we're playing with the camera just as we did when we were young ensured our first film. we felt as if we didn't have any restraints we felt like novices like the first time when we embraced cinema and it was this spirit that helped us to produce the extraordinary work that i cannot fit into any category most of the film this is black and white did you film it on black and white film or was it made later in
7:47 am
post-production. no haha all we need the black and white for two reasons. one is very simple. the beginning is in color and then six months back we wanted the audience to know that this flashback is just collections and that it all happened in the past. but also. is very naturalistic. what we see around us and what we see on television is only in color. urgently all films used to be black and white but not any longer. we didn't want to make a naturalistic film we didn't want the events in the prison to look naturalistic it was not supposed to be an ordinary documentary where they would show you the environment in great detail in color the cells the bar doors.
7:48 am
instead we wanted to show the absurdity of the prison of the fact that if you form in a shakespeare's play so well it was also due to the black and white form it director of photography insisted he wanted the contrast to be very intense because hugh and your brother belong to the older generation of filmmakers many people may think that this black and white production is actually a tribute to. the. see. the. video. in austin i wouldn't call it a tribute we come from new realism i would say we started black and white but then we shifted to color productions the only black and white film that springs to mind is the first one we did together with my brother it was called and then for burning . we didn't have any sources of inspiration for this but wait to be truly honest
7:49 am
there was one when we were young we truly loved cinema including near real estate and so did films like those made by siri eisenstein or several of. the. feeling. no. different you see for us me in the new me were almost contemporary directors we had a thing with a great russian cinema. she was it we started shooting this film it felt as if we were young against the black and white film rekindle the old flame of the passion we had for the great black and white cinema by say dryer or eisenstein . stayed in this respect our film was indeed inspired by the old cinema but only as a flashback of our younger days record. it was only through black and white that we
7:50 am
could tell this particular story. because. it was a story. you and your brother both used to be journalists. i would suppose a lot like i am so i would suppose that that when you doing something like this like this movie there's some sort of a message you want to convey to the public what was the d.c. compassion to the accused what. do. rossellini used to say it is the postman who brings the message. don't try to convey messages but indeed there is this is a message for us personally. i have been doing that my whole life in the us.
7:51 am
we would like audiences easily and worldwide to find out what values people who committed murders s.t.d. human. war. and who there is possible to rectify. the years in prison some of them have changed and one should help them in their study really. here is a healing session for them too in their feelings through the genius of shakespeare . in shakespeare has helped these people more than anyone else has. therefore our message consists of compassion empathy and respect for them. you see in one of your interviews i quote making films is about discovering something that's never been seen before and that's the way your words however you often mufon make films they still shape tolstoy it's what we turn.
7:52 am
again and again to the classics if you think that your work is about discovery something new. the story in today's am leaving for us there pollyanna to see the place where leo tolstoy wrote his great works some of which i keep in my bedside watches in particular piece. so i'm referring to this because tolstoy dello and other classical writers have been a source of inspiration for us. but we've never tried to make adaptations of their works. might not be able my every time these writers can read the feeling that reasoning aided with what we were trying to get across we used their works is moot ifs in our films and we use their stories to present our own visions like there was
7:53 am
an article machina just. say i think you told story think you better in the low end good but for now you have been of tremendous help just meant literature and cinema are two different languages if you know how old i know you are now it's time. to speak their own language we. will have great writers but we always betray them in our films. so you know if they're any mood to get to school to answer after hours just to remind you that my guest today was italian filmmaker paolo lot kaviak and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your say on fog live or after someone in mind see you think i should intervene next time to drop me a line of al gore and i pad. and let's keep spotlight interactive movie back with more friends don't comment on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay on our take and take thank you guys it is upset me in tears as it were.
