Young Italian director Chiara Bellosi is at the Berlinale with “Ordinary Justice” which examines the lives of two families on opposite sides of a murder case who intersect on the benche…

who discovered Alice Rohrwacher and is known for nurturing the cream of Italy’s new cinematic crop. Bellosi spoke toI’ve always been fascinated by courthouses. And I’ve done social work for years, so I’ve come across plenty of stories. Courthouses are like a funnel into which all aspects of life flow…Initially I wanted to make a doc about the courthouse as a mirror of the outside world and I proposed it to Carlo.

The women in this story are the ones who more than anyone else will be affected by the consequences of the verdict. So they are united by this huge unknown [outcome] that they have in common. Bur no matter what the verdict will be they will get out and will experience personal growth. Another thing that struck me is the dichotomy between the law with a capital L and the law of nature. The Law involves men inside the courtroom while natural law are the women sitting outside…So while inside there is a clash of positions, perhaps on the outside there is another route that things can take.

Talk to me about working with ace cinematographer Maurizio Calvesi who has lensed something like 60 movies. It was great. He was really involved and very passionate. We both agreed that the film should be shot in a straightforward manner. No shots from weird angles or a weird aesthetic. At the end of the day what was most important was to make the characters stand out. That was the path we took. I really learned a lot from him. He helped me understand what I was looking for and what I really wanted.
