Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi

Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi is one of those rare artists who refuses to stay on one side of the camera, and I find that deeply compelling. Born in Turin in 1964, she acts, writes, and directs, earning honours in both Italy and France, from the César for Best Female Revelation to the David di Donatello and the Order of Arts and Letters. "A Castle in Italy" reaching the Palme d'Or competition confirmed her authorial voice. Because she knows the vulnerability of performing, her own films feel unusually tender toward their characters. For me, it is her sheer expressive force, not her famous family, that lingers.
