Director’s note on Amanda in Venice 79
Here are the words of Carolina Cavalli on his film:
“When I wrote Amanda it’s not that I had any particular intentions, other than to write a good story, which is a bit of an attempt I always make. It’s not like I really had a piano, I had a character in my head […] It is clear that the imagination has limits when it wants to be represented: reality, one’s abilities. But I have never indulged these problems and I am happy about it.
I do not have a great relationship with time or geography, in fact, even if it is not explicit, all the characters in Amanda they are always early and have no sense of direction. If I have a choice, I feel comfortable working with the light that we don’t know what time it is, and with non-places. As a reference, for me there are landscapes that look more like inner landscapes than others, or at least that I recognize as such and prefer: the moorland, the suburban places of the Mid-West, as I imagine the suburbs of Tokyo, from the photos I have seen because I’ve never actually been there, and so on. I would be sorry not to be able to put them together, one next to the other, just to respect a true geography, which so much does not belong to the world of the film“.
