Letizia Lamartire's Debut Film 'Saremo giovani e bellissimi' Premieres at Venice Film Festival
Letizia Lamartire's debut feature 'Saremo giovani e bellissimi' premiered at the 2018 Venice Film Festival. The film explores the complex relationship between mother Isabella (Barbora Bobulova) and son Bruno (Alessandro Piavani), both musicians. Lamartire, who studied at a conservatory, personally taught Piavani guitar. The music, composed by Matteo Buzzanca, is integral to the narrative, acting as a third protagonist that replaces dialogue in key scenes. The soundtrack spans 1990s Italian pop, contemporary music, and a original song 'Tic Tac' inspired by late-80s Vanessa Paradis. The film is part of the Settimana Critica section.
