Unlike Cetto La Quale, Antonio Albanese is perfect for dramatic roles, perfect to make Antonio Riva the tragic protagonist of Cento Domeniche, a film he wrote and that will be shown at the Rome Film Fest. But who is Antonio Riva, protagonist of the film, which will be shown in cinemas from November 23rd by Vision Distribution? He is now a good man, a former worker who lives the life that every retiree who doesn’t regret his job dreams of. He plays bowling with his friends, loves his elderly mother (Giulia Lazzarini) and also has a very good relationship with his ex-wife Margherita (Sandra Ceccarelli). At the center of the entire life of this “little” worker, who is so reminiscent of Alberto Sordi in the direction of Mario Monicelli, is his only and beloved daughter Emilia (Liliana Bottone). One day she announced to him that she had decided to get married. Antonio was what she had always been waiting for: he could finally show all his love for her and give her the most beautiful wedding ever. But in the bank he experiences a surprise that plunges him first into depression and then into tragedy. “It is a film that represents my origins, my working class social background, but above all it is a necessary film that tells of an injustice,” he says today at the Albanese Auditorium, whose film received enthusiastic applause when it was first released – . A powerful story with impressive cruelty. It’s not a film against banks, but one that tells what can happen if one of them makes a mistake.” And Albanese again: “What is the message of Cento Domeniche? In all my films I talk about respect and honesty because these are things that can save us. The beautiful thing is that Antonio blames himself for what happened, but he is a deeply honest man.” “I also wanted to tell,” the director/actor continues, “the world of the workers. In Italy there are almost five million and they are the ones who support this country, they are not the last, they are the first and for a few decades they have been abandoned. For years there has been a policy that never turns on their side.” However, Albanese would still like to say: “In the lot of research we did for One Hundred Sundays, we found that many of the victims were the banks didn’t leave their homes for months: they were ashamed, they took the blame.” Sandra Ceccarelli, who plays Margherita, Antonio Riva’s ex-wife, explains: “Working for Albanese is a privilege, he is a man , which exudes humanity, and I am also happy to have been involved in this necessary story, reminiscent of that of the great Ken Loach.” ”.
