The intense relationship between Mary and Jesus in the film "I am with you" in competition at the Rome Film Festival 11/03/2010 14:20:29
The Italian director Guido Chiesa , known for his political commitment demonstrated in previous films, presented in competition at the Rome Film Festival unexpected, intense and cinematic reconstruction of essential Gospels: Mary and Jesus are the focus of "I am with you" , films in which love and trust between a mother and her son keep the mystery of God and His plan of salvation for humanity. The service Luca Pellegrini:
A mother and son. Play, smile, look, they hug. At the slightest danger, they are close. We are in Nazareth two thousand years ago. Guido Chiesa, after a series, although short, politically and socially engaged film, go to the movies, to tell the story of Mary and Jesus son of a sustained thought, wanted at all costs. The feeling is that that is the result of his spiritual need genuine and irrepressible, was born the day after his paternity and a broad exchange of ideas with his wife, Nicoletta Micheli, with whom he has participated in the drafting of the screenplay, remodeled several times. We worked with early adhesion - he admits - the rational and materialistic type, only an intellectual and emotional. Then it became an act of faith and fidelity to that Gospel which was discovering and telling the cinema. We're out of traditional iconography, are on the side of Pasolini for the essential image of the hatch of the characters, but the intensity of the search does not stop at the fascinating history or appearance. It penetrates the soul. Maria is a humble woman put aside in the patriarchal family. It has a docile temperament and strong together, opposes the ritual violence and taxation, shaking a trusting relationship with her son who has a supernatural flavor, where all but the transcendent is obscured in the film, stopping only to that relationship and his mysterious love.
's still Guido Church which explains why the Gospel of the Child has so intrigued and fascinated - although a few episodes is taken from the Apocrypha, perhaps to give a flavor to the original story: "I tried to speak to everyone, without distinction culture, faith, preferring a female perspective and propose a positive model based on love, a word now so insulted. " It is never conventional, the director, who uses unknown faces captured in everyday life in Tunisia - to represent the most reliable environment in which they were Jesus' birth - a rough terrain and polychrome where it was shot on film that stretches from the days of the Annunciation to those of the finding of Jesus in the Temple among the doctors. Guido Church has reiterated several times: do not want to offend, even if there are angels and shepherds, there's the comet, and there are the Magi. Mother and Son are the focus of his interest an artist and man, the first put herself entirely in the hands of God, confronts the mystery and pain, the second relies on the mother until he realizes that his freedom can no longer be small, its mission in the world is another. "It tells the story of a woman who forever changed the face of humanity" - says the director again. "I am with you" is, therefore, a well-chosen title: Mary with her Son, Jesus with all of us.
