Trudie Styler Teams With Rai Cinema, ‘Heat’ DoP Dante Spinotti & ‘Call Me By Your Name’ Editor Walter Fasano On Naples Doc
10.01.2022 - 16:31 / deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: Producer-director Trudie Styler is set to wrap this month on under-the-radar documentary E Poi C’è Napoli (And Then There Is Naples), a film about the vibrant Italian city and its sharp contrasts.
Styler will direct the Italian feature, marking her third film as a director, and has amassed an impressive team of Italian collaborators.
Cinematographer is two-time Oscar-nominated DoP and industry veteran Dante Spinotti, whose credits include Heat, The Last Of The Mohicans, L.A. Confidential, The Insider and Ant-Man And The Wasp.
Editor will be Walter Fasano, known for his collaborations with Luca Guadagnino, including on Call Me By Your Name, I Am Love and Suspiria.
Producers include Italian companies Big Sur, Mad Entertainment and state broadcaster RAI Cinema. Producing are Luciano Stella and Maria Carolina Terzi.
Popular Italian rapper Clementino is writing a song for the film, which will also feature classic Neapolitan songs, and “a few surprises.”
Styler said of the film: “There may not be a city more present, more now than Naples. It is not without troubles or hardship, but even in its darkness and death, it is a city of unmatchable life force. Light and dark, life and death – these contrasts define the city and our documentary about it. As a British-born but American-based filmmaker, I am the definition of an outsider. I have kept a home in Italy for two decades, but as any Neapolitan will tell you, Tuscany is not Naples. Sofia Loren said it best – I am not Italian, I am Neapolitan. Naples is a culture to its own.”
Styler previously co-directed 2002 doc The Sweatbox, and helmed 2017 feature Freak Show, on which she also teamed with Spinotti. She also produced 1994 Berlinale doc Moving The Mountain by Michael
