"VIVA VALERIA!": Film Freak Central Interviews Actress Valeria Golino (1741 words)
Golino is passionate about film as art, considers herself fortunate to have worked with so many strong auteur voices, and feels somewhat dissatisfied with her own contribution to the medium to this point.
Golino's right hand, I was stricken by how petite she seemed in person, particularly after a whirlwind performance in Respiro that recalls fellow Italian beauty Gina Lollobrigida's earthy, expansive sexuality.
Golino's best work since her turn in Sean Penn's The Indian Runner--the type of performance that calls for a reassessment of a career that, since her debut in Lina Wertmüller's 1983 Scherzo del destino in agguato dietro l'angolo come un brigante da strada, includes in upwards of forty-eight pictures.
