The Life Ahead
, your return to the screen after a decade, you play Madame Rosa, a Holocaust survivor and former prostitute who embarks on an unlikely friendship with a young Senegalese immigrant. What drew you to the role? She’s full of contradictions. She’s dramatic. She’s funny. She’s strong, but she’s soft, and also very poetic sometimes. She reminds me a lot of my mother—maybe, in a way, that’s why I accepted the role. Because my mother was a great artist. She played the piano beautifully, wonderfully. And she was always with us. She took care of us.Well, Italy is not a postcard; it’s a country with all the problems of today. Problems of inequality, problems of discrimination.
This is the third time you’ve worked with your son, the director Edoardo Ponti. What is it like working with him? We have such a strong, honest rapport. He always tells me exactly what he thinks. I feel I can really be myself, and in that mode, I feel so free to try things. He knows how to talk to me, and which buttons to push to make me work the way he likes me to work. So that’s why I love working with him—because he sometimes puts in all the effort that I should.You know, the moment I walk on set, the moment I see the camera and feel the light, I don’t feel 86 anymore.
Silly, its all that olive oil! A good Southern Italian diet.
I mean it’s genetics lol and she is a beautiful woman
