Did a star come about? Certainly, a great promise of Italian TV. Giulio Beranek arrives on Rai1 with Gerri And in a few minutes the competition sweeps away: his Gennaro Esposito, a lone inspector with a cumbersome past and a present full of gray areas, has already conquered public and criticism. The reason is simple: Beranek has something that others are missing. Not only talent, but substance. And a story.
The series, taken from the novels of Giorgia Lepore, with Giulio Baranek and Valentina Romani, arrives on Rai 1 Monday 5 May
Born in 1987, born in Taranto to a Spanish mother and Czech father, both carousels, Giulio grows between caravan, rag upholstery and kilometers on kilometers of nomadic life. A life as an appendix novel, but without melodrama. At thirteen he seems to have a future as an athlete: he enters the Olympiakos nursery, Greece, and begins to dream of the ball at high levels. Then the knee injury, the reality that returns to knock, and the change of course. Football remains a memory (and perhaps a regret), but opens the doors to something different. Of unexpected.
The cinema arrives almost by chance. He is the director Alessandro di Robilant to notice him and give him the leading role in Marpiccolo (2009), raw and vibrant film set in Taranto. There Beranek turns out to be: not only credible, but hypnotic. In the following years he worked with the Taviani brothers in A private questionreads in Without art or part by Giovanni Albanesepasses as a series like The hunter (in the role of Mico Farinella) e Live and let live. It makes never banal choices, never comfortable, never shouted.
In Gerri He plays Gennaro Esposito, inspector with ambiguous morality, dark eyes like the coffee he drinks and passed as an orphan who grew up in a family home by an atypical priest and a perpetual Roma. The character has edges, defects, moments of sweetness and others of closing. Beranek makes him three -dimensional without overdoing it, with that rare naturalness to find even among the most experienced actors. And he takes the whole scene.
Its beauty is not by poster or patinated cover. It is a true, lived beauty, that is not afraid of shadows. A style that comes out of the stereotypes of the “Italian male” all turtle and perfect tuft.
On private life, almost absolute press silence. On social media, little and nothing publishes: some shots on the set, distant looks, zero worldliness. We know he has a partner, Demeter, social worker, and two children, Antonia and Ares Maria.
