Claudio Conti, score: 7
Perfect, you know. But the most enjoyable moments are when he sets out, when he throws himself beyond the script, like when he explains to Matt Dillon that the David is in Florence, or when he takes a stand against those who wish to censure art . Even at a ceremony like this, where rhythm is the backbone of the whole evening, the presence of great grace is a guarantee. He holds it with no apparent effort and the hours fly by.
Matilde Gioli, score: 7
Few but heartfelt words about young people, although the most effective sentence is at the end of the speech, in which he invited young people to express themselves and take part in the city’s cultural activities. Conti thanks her with the words: You say you’re young. And she, who turns 34 in September, replies promptly and clearly, “Not anymore.” To really change things, you have to really understand that young is really young.
Emanuala Fanelli, score: 10
An actress who loves herself for never being fixed but being intelligently spontaneous. He jokes about making his Champions League debut. And then to say, “I went into a soccer matchup with no skills I didn’t need.” And the introspection continues as he says he feels like the priest in Honeymoons who then has the mic removed, for him to stop talking. In other words: wonderful.
Francesco Di Leva, Vote: 8th
No frills, attentive to the messages he sends, in a few moments he sums up many: his love for Naples, for the work he does in the theater with young people and for his wife: “It closes me a simple man, an honest man.” ” . Good boy.
Giulia Steigerwalt, vote: 6
It’s not easy to impress your audience with an acceptance speech longer than 30 seconds. But the director doesn’t seem particularly inspired, so in practice she limits herself to thanking her children (and making her partner Matteo Rovere cry), deliberately forgetting one of them “because he’s newborn anyway.” . Friendly.
Marina Cicogna, score: 10
Well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award to Marina Cicogna, pioneer filmmaker. Her boundless professional talent is matched with that of a very clear and deeply intelligent woman who uses words with care and depth. A great character who shaped our culture. Happily.
Barbara Ronchi, score: 7
A true rising star of Italian cinema, Barbara Ronchi is enjoying her well-deserved moment. Excitedly, she catches up with the first David, thanks as usual, but just before she leaves the stage, she announces her unconditional support for Hamlet, the group formed to protect actresses from harassment.
Matt Dillon, Voice 4
Being from Hollywood is not enough to be a star. And it’s not enough to be a star to have something to say, but of course the actor could have maybe learned two little sentences. When asked about the basic requirements of being a foreigner, he couldn’t say anything that was even remotely a little unexpected. He loves Italy, everything, but when he has to choose a city, he says Rome. But okay? The homework came badly.
Fabrizio Gifuni, score: 9
“I thank my slowness and my fragility.” A beautiful speech in which he does not forget his colleagues, talks about how to face these “dark times” and thanks everyone, including his wife Sonia Bergamasco, who beamed at him applause. How to make people think in seconds
Marco Bellocchio, score: 9
No scaffolding, he describes himself as “moderately excited”, he thanks “everyone who knows I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart” for this award, which “I did not expect … but I accept it, right? “. Master, also in thanks
Aldo, Giacomo (without Giovanni), score: 5
Aldo and Giacomo receive an award without Giovanni, but have no opportunity to unleash their talent. Since they are loved by everyone, we would have liked to have listened to them more, seen what they said and heard at least one joke. The project was postponed to the next David in the hope of not having to wait as long again.
Stefano Bollani, Vote: 8th
At first glance, David says he’s glad to have arrived in a new family like that of cinema. He manages to convey passion and joy in a matter of seconds: that too is a talent.
