My Take

Paolo Virzì is the kind of director I always want to champion: a regional voice who never forgets where he came from. Rooted in the Tuscan port city of Livorno, he built a reputation on warm, sharply observed portraits of working-class Italy, and the establishment noticed, with a David di Donatello for Best Film and the Grand Jury Prize at Venice. Ovosodo in particular sounds like the work of someone who understands his hometown intimately. As a writer, director, and producer all at once, he is a genuine all-rounder. I am drawn to filmmakers whose sense of place is inseparable from their humanism.
