A very Sicilian film, which speaks Sicilian and shows the Sicilian character, both the cultured and the literate of its Nobel laureates and that of the people. Even if these people aspire to act as a professional “amateur”. Roberto Andò packs an astonishing strangeness thanks to Toni Servillo, Ficarra and Picone. In theaters from October 27.
A story that smells of the old and the tradition. It’s 1920 and Sicily wants to pay homage to Giovanni Verga on his 80th birthday (in Renato Carpentieri’s cameo). For the occasion, the “Maestro” – as he is called throughout the film – Luigi Pirandello (Toni Servillo who adds another intense interpretation of a real character to his book) returns by train to his Girgenti (Agrigento, for those who did not chew on geography and literature). Thus begins the film directed by Roberto Andò who, from the General Public section of the Rome Film Fest 2022, takes us back to the car of the 1920s to talk about theater, characters and real life.

Synopsis of La Stranezza: Toni Servillo is the creative anguish of Pirandello
The arrival at Girgenti is marked by painful news: the death of octogenarian nurse Maria Stella. Honoring his disappearance leads Maestro Pirandello incognito to meet two cassamortari (gravediggers, editor’s note) Onofrio Principato (Valentino Picone) and Sebastiano Vella (Salvo Ficarra) – Nofrio and Bastiano – who, in their spare time, enjoy directing a theater company. The burial of the nurse is impossible: the niche is already occupied. Here begins the short journey into the corruption of mortuary offices.

The mention of the author-photographer is mandatory: Lia Pasqualino Pirandello is in full creative obsession between characters that are only in her head, past and reality: the continuous juxtaposition between feverish hours full of visions and this provincial theater where she’ll stage a seedy prank. The Trench of Remorse, or Cicciareddu and Pietruzzu, is Nofrio’s first serious work. But the comedy bursts – and on the other hand how it could not if we speak of those who invented the poetics of humor, honored by the innate comedy of Ficarra and Picone – until the chaos that ensues . That of real life which feels called into question by the scenic narrative.
The end: on stage the vision of the torment of genius
The Maestro observes and the following year in Rome at the Teatro Valle – in front of the public for special occasions, which will turn out to be something else – is staged for the first time Six characters in search of an author, in front of Nofrio and Bastiano, guest of the author. Roberto Andò chooses a particular ending: these six characters who appeared during the film find their author, Luigi Pirandello, and his work – which will become in a very short time one of the successes for which in 1934 he received the Nobel Prize. As Picone explained in an interview with Tv, Sorrisi e Canzoni, the film renders – “That feeling of torment that a genius experiences when he is about to create something that he still cannot shape “. A must.
