Gianni Amelio In Short
A premier filmmaker of the Italian cinema Giannia Amelio questions are better understanding of the world around us. Several articles have continued to point out his relevance to the Socially Conscious films of the twentieth century.
One film in particular that highlights Amelio's skillful and socially conscious work is Open Doors(Porte Aparte)." Taunting stomachs with subthemes of rape, murder and the judicial process, this film blatanly ignores tact to drag one's emotions into a frenzy. The overarching and subtly crafted theme of fascism is the crux of this films conscience, that exumes our souls and begs us to embark from the path of conformity. In "Open Doors," the poignant moments are inter-spliced with a brilliant and dark cinematography that cascades a moral light on each element we see. Because each piece stands alone, and likewise creates a picture of enlightment for many of us, Amelio's work is highly effective in its delivery.
Works such as "Open Doors" should be required for college students, and definitely places Amelio amongst some of the genius of the twentieth century.
Amelio was born in the small Italian village of San Pietro Magisano, a province of Catanzaro, at the end of WWII.
When Amelio told his grandmother that he wanted to be a filmmaker, she urged him to go on to higher education.
Amelio quickly followed this international success with Il Ladro di Bambini (The Stolen Children) (1992), a celebrated tale about two abused children and a carabiniere (an Italian policeman) on a road trip through Italy.
