If you're not into arthouse and foreign films, then you probably won't have heard of Giovanna Mezzogiorno. She happens to be one of Italy's most amazing actresses, but has yet to make a movie in Hollywood. You might know the more popular Monica Bellucci, who made a number of high-profile films, but Mezzogiorno has yet to make her name in American cinema. - - -
- - - This is about to change. Pitting talents with the likes of Javier Bardem, John Leguizamo and Benjamin Bratt, Giovanna will play the heroine in the film adaptation of Gabriel Marquez' Love in the Time of Cholera. As Fermina Daza, she plays a strong-willed woman who is loved and adored by two different men. But instead of the usual 'damsel in distress' type of role, Giovanna's Fermina is fiercely independent and does not depend on men in order to survive. This is not the first time that the actress will tackle a challenging role. In her native Italy, she has already won acclaim for her work, winning the di Donatello for Best Actress. She also has been recognized at a number of international film fest ivals - she won another Best Actress award at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. If you want to sample one of her works, you might like to rent Facing Windows. One of Italy's most beautiful films of recent years, La Finestra di fronte stars some of Italy's most acclaimed actors including Raoul Bova, Filippo Nigro and the late Massimo Girotti. |
