‘Hand of God’ Director Paolo Sorrentino: ‘Being an Oscar Candidate for a Second Time Means the First Time Wasn’t Just a Fluke’

which marks the director’s return to filmmaking in his native Naples 20 years after his debut, “One Man Up.”Italian original film is the story of a goofy kid named Fabietto who starts harboring a passion for filmmaking“it’s a tale of destiny and family, of sport and cinema, love and loss.”

It’s a great honor and a great responsibility to represent my country once again. Being a candidate for the second time fills me with joy because it means that the first time wasn’t just a fluke. This second candidacy indicates continuity in my work and a standard that is at the very least dignified.The Oscar campaign is very stimulating and fun. But at the same time, it’s tiring and a lot of work. You travel a lot, and change places real fast.

The Oscars are a prize that was born in the U.S. and has grown there. So I think it’s entirely natural that the bulk of the attention goes to English-language films. But of course, not being American, I hope that phenomenons like “Parasite” can happen again. In any event, I think there is quite an ample interest on the part of the U.S. industry and film critics towards foreign films.Frankly I don’t know how to answer this. It’s a question that should go to those in charge of the awards.

I can just speak about my own personal experience. “The Great Beauty” was two hours and twenty minutes long, but I never received any criticism regarding its length. “The Hand of God” is two hours and ten minutes, and even in this case I haven’t heard of any particular complaints regarding the length of the film. A film has its necessity, its rhythm, its ampleness and length which reflect these needs. If a film is well made, it can be very long and satisfy anyone.

It's the 'Hand of God' 😂
