#borghi totally losing it at marinelli's answer was priceless

[incidentale]

Throwback to this event from 2018 in Ostia after the screening of Non Essere Cattivo during Notte Caligari hosted by Il Cinema In Piazza.

I just think they are neat and hilarious at public events huge thanks to @weardes for tracking it down in this gifset.

Full video in the comments. Brief translation under the cut:

The host is thanking those of the crew who couldn't be there, and then asks everyone if they want to share a memory about Ostia or if they have anything they want to say in particular to the people there, since this was an event that brought the movie where it was shot after three years from its release, in some way closing the cycle with the palce too.

People didn't know who had to start and the host called Alessandro to speak first since he already had the mic.

Alessandro says that it seems like this cycle never ends, that even after so many years since they've met to make this movie, they are still here talking about it and this fact makes him, and them all, emotional. The only thing he can do is to shout his most absolute thanks to everyone for being here and to still want to watch the movie, and more in general for wanting to support cinematography. If one is in love with Non Essere Cattivo it's because they love a certain kind of cinematography, which is what they also love.

Then he makes a joke, aside from his huge thanks, he's passing the mic to Giordano Meacci (screenwriter), that way he'll have things to say for 40 minutes, and quote: "Nah, that's not true, look how handsome he is. And nothing, thank you, what else can I say? There's here Luca Marinelli who has something to say."

Luca meanwhile is taking pictures with an analog camera and is caught off guard, and says "Just like in the 90s." And Alessandro asks if it works with film, that camera, and Luca goes, "Yes, yes. You gotta develop it. Those things..." and makes a gesture to mean 'ancient'.

He then also thanks everyone and starts elaborating a reply. He says it's very, very, veeery moving, and this story really never ends. A while ago, when they were following and promoting the movie, they used to say it was like a book, every time you turn the page and it's blank then it starts filling in as colors start to appear, and seeing everyone here again– "it's been a while but... [emphatically] it doesn't seem like it."

At that everyone laughs and Alessandro cracks up, clinging to his shoulder, and Luca just closes with, "It's beautiful, thank you." Everyone claps and they move on to the screenwriters.
