Giuseppe Rotunno est un directeur de la photographie et professeur italien né le 19 mars 1923 à Rome (Italie).

Biography

Giuseppe Rotunno est célèbre pour ses fréquentes collaborations avec Federico Fellini et Luchino Visconti.

Il a reçu de nombreuses distinctions, notamment pour sa contribution au film de Bob Fosse Que le spectacle commence (All That Jazz, 1979) : lauréat du British Academy Film Award de la meilleure photographie et nommé pour l'Oscar de la meilleure photographie.

Il a également reçu le prix Pietro Bianchi à la Mostra de Venise 1995, a été régulièrement récompensé durant quatre décennies par des Rubans d'argent et Prix David di Donatello, et distingué à différentes reprises pour l'ensemble de sa carrière cinématographique.

Depuis 1988, il dirige en tant que professeur-coordinateur le cours de photographie (Image) de l'École nationale de cinéma de Rome près du Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia qui lui a rendu hommage en 2013 en fêtant ses 90 ans. Interrogé sur sa façon d'enseigner, Giuseppe Rotunno a répondu : « Je cherche surtout à éduquer l’œil des élèves, je les stimule afin de leur apprendre à regarder autour d'eux, à mémoriser la masse infinie d'informations qui leur parvient quotidiennement du monde extérieur. En observant avec attention, on apprend à connaître les formes, les couleurs, les objets d'une certaine époque. La technique est importante, mais il faut surtout apprendre à décrire avec légèreté ce que nous voyons ».

Une vie vécue avec douceur, ce doux regard et ce sourire narquois, cette légendaire paresse. Aujourd’hui encore, dire Mastroianni ou Marcello évoque une époque : un monde fait de bravoure, de beauté, de charme, de gentillesse. Au travers d’interviews de ses proches et de ses collaborateurs, d’extraits de films et d’images d’archives, ce documentaire narré par Sergio Castellitto veut raconter un homme qui a été le plus grand acteur italien et a vécu de façon extraordinaire avec le succès, en pensant souvent qu’il n’était peut-être qu’en train de rêver.

A camera tracks crosswise alongside a wide, brightly appointed beach, in what appears to be the dead of winter. No bathers are in sight, only a rolling parade of empty cabanas, with a tranquil blue seascape in the distance beyond. The wistful, melancholy music of Nino Rota lends these vistas a dreamy familiarity. We then jump from color to luminous black & white, and a quick glimpse of Federico Fellini's 1963 masterpiece, 8½, in which the monumentally buxom harlot, La Saraghina, is preparing to perform her rumba on the beach for a flock of fugitive schoolboys. It's the very same beach we were just staring at, but magically denuded of 40 years of succeeding development, and made mythic through the eyes of a master. From this point of departure, Pettigrew juxtaposes archival footage and fresh interviews with Fellini's collaborators, interspersed with classic clips and the fruits of his own present-day visits to the haunting locales where I Vitelloni (1953), Nights of Cabiria (1957), La Dolce Vita (1960), Fellini Satyricon (1969) and other cinematic wonders first came to life. The goal is to fuse these ingredients thematically, to a degree that may better illuminate Fellini's conscience and philosophies.

The film begins in an unnamed war-torn European city in the late 18th century (dubbed "The Age of Reason" in an opening caption), where, amid explosions and gunfire from a large Turkish army outside the city gates, a fanciful touring stage production of Baron Munchausen's life and adventures is taking place. Backstage, city official "The Right Ordinary Horatio Jackson" reinforces the city's commitment to reason (here meaning uniformity) by ordering the execution of a soldier (Sting in a cameo) who had just accomplished a near-superhuman feat of bravery, claiming that his bravery is demoralizing to other soldiers.
