Tiffany's Christmas Commercial

Costumes Antonella Cannarozzi


yes, it is news to share with you readers and bloggers: Antonella Cannarozzi, the brilliant costume designer of "I Am Love", was nominated to 'Oscar for best costumes.

to know how to read this news, says many things and I would like suggest at least two:

first it should be noted that the film we're talking about is not a period film, yet the work of Cannarozzi is expressed in all his creativity to contemporary leaning, looking in clothes characters and inclinations of the characters. Nothing is ever free. Nothing is purely aesthetic. Each bag, each piece of jewelry, clothes and shoes speak any of the characters represented and talk about their social mielieu . Everything is taken care of, the leading actress Tilda Swinton, the extras. Jil Sander, Fendi, Hermes, the jewels of Delfina Delettrez. The search for references would be lengthy. Italy has not recognized Value of the costume and then the Americans are felt with a nomination to the higher premiums in the world.

Perhaps, and this is the second thing that this nomination suggests, Antonella Cannarozzi is also illustrative of the situation of the director Luca Guadagnino, ignored by the press and the Italian market and praised the contrary, by premiums and global markets (remember only that he had been nominated for a Golden Globe for best foreign film).

Here. The absurd situation that emerges is that the world and Italy are also in the field of cinema, two opposing worlds, unable to communicate and reflect each other. Italy and the world are two parallel lines incapable of meeting even in the field of cinema, that is, that art in which our nation has demonstrated excellence for several decades of the twentieth century old. Where will it end if you are not coming out of the provincialism, at least in the field of art?
