Valeria Golino, Matilda De Angelis and Elodie paraded together on the red carpet of the 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, on the occasion of the première of Out, The new film by Mario Martone in official competition. The only Italian title in the main selection He arrives on the Croisette bringing with him high expectations and an all -female narrative. The three actresses, very different from each other by age and career, share a common path on the screen: to give body and voice to characters inspired by Women who met Goliarda Sapienza met in the Rebibbia prison.
The image of the three actresses united on the red carpet anticipates the spirit of the film, which is based on an authentic relationship between women, made of confrontation, listening and solidarity. Valeria Golino, interpreter of Goliarda, has a consolidated link with the writer: after directing the series taken from The art of joyreturns to Cannes to bring another page of his life to the screen, that ofarrest for a theft in 1980told in the book The University of Rebibbia. In OutGolino returns a complex goliarda, crossed by fragility, irony and obstinacy. “It’s as if Goliarda called me every time,” he said in a recent interview, explaining that he had an almost personal relationship with his figure.
At his side, Matilda De Angelis plays a young prisoner who enters with Goliarda. The character is rebellious, shy, marked by a constant tension. De Angelis, an actress now internationally known, shows an interpretative maturity that confirms her talent.
Elodiein his second test on the big screen after I eat your heartcompares with a very delicate role: A woman who becomes a significant presence for Goliardamade of listening and shared wounds. His approach is sober, far from any spectacularization, and returns a credible, retained character, full of shades.
Out marks Martone’s return in competition to Cannes after Nostalgia (2022), with a very different work by tone and setting. The script, written with the wife Ippolita di Majo, is inspired by A real episode of the life of wisdom and transforms it into an intimate film, largely set within the walls of the prisonbut crossed by a strong idea of inner freedom and redemption through writing and encounter with the other.
The film will be distributed in Italy by 01 Distribution starting from 22 May. Tomorrow, on May 21, a series of national previews will be connected live with the Ariston Theater of Sanremo, where the director and the cast will be able to meet the public.

Shortly thereafter it also arrived Scarlett Johanssonin competition with To Private Life (Privée streets), films that marks his debut for direction. The actress paraded next to Erin Kellyman And Squibb Juneco-protagonists of the film, welcomed with interest from the press and the public.
But, on the Montée des Marches, today the Cannes Film Festival has also welcomed with a long applause Jafar PanahiThe Iranian director for years symbol of artistic resistance against the repression of his country. After a long series of arrests, processes and convictions, including the ban on shooting films or leaving Iran for twenty years, Panahi has finally been able to cross the boundaries and tread an international red carpet: it was since 2009 that it did not happen. His new film, A Simple accidentis already considered one of the strongest titles in the race for the golden palm: it directs the violence, torture and humiliations inflicted by the Iranian regime to political prisoners and civil society directly.
