The time it takesthe delicate film that Francesca Comencini he dedicated to his father Louisone of the greatest directors of Italian cinema, author, among others, of Bread, love and fantasyof The scientific scoponebut also of the historic Rai drama on Pinocchiois, more than a love letter, a daughter’s sweet tribute to the man who gave her a passion for the camera and allowed her to face life without letting herself be overwhelmed by weakness and fear.
Previewed out of competition at the Venice Film Festival and released in theaters on September 26the film, of which we give you a preview above trailerstarts from a particular dimension: that of childhood. During the making of Pinocchioin fact, Luigi tells Francesca about his work and listens to her, observes her, speaks to her seriously, composedly, respectfully, as one would speak not to an adult but to a whole person who is a child.
The little girl – Francesca Comencini herself, mind and soul of The time it takes – visit the sets of the father touching with his own hands the life, the noise, the humanity, the work, the worry, the infatuation, the magic and the sweat that ooze behind the camera, laying the foundations for a magical world that seems almost impossible to let go of. She gets lost in that dimension and, when she becomes a girl, something of the father-daughter relationship vanishes: thethe daughter feels it,
understands that the break with childhood is irreparableshe understands it from the way her father looks at her. She thinks she will never be at his level, and this type of frustration leads her to take drugs pretending that everything is going as it always has. Luigi Comencini, however, decides that he will not pretend nothing is happening, and that is why he will do everything to snatch his daughter from the abyss by taking her away with him, to Paris.
«The time it takes is the very personal story of moments with my father that emerged from memories and remained vivid and intact in my mind – says Francesca Comencini -. A personal story that I believe, however, finds the right distance in the fact that between the father and the daughter there is always cinema as a passion, a life choice, a way of being in the world. Around the years of massacres, of social revolutions, of the appearance of drugs, which turned the life of an entire generation upside down”.
