tions, the "Amarcord" of his New York in
tow; me, with a weighty baggage of
images, which were often markedly pictorial since I love the Renaissance and am
obsessed with Caravaggio and his constant
conflict between light and shade.
Woody, with his monochromatic,
desaturated tones; me, with my powerful
chromatic emotions deriving from my studies on Isaac Newton, Goethe and so forth,
and with the symbolism, dramaturgy and
physiology of color.
Initially, I was not so sure that I
would be able to visualize one of his films. I
have always needed to find a specific style,
and personalities who would help me to
identify and pursue a specific path of
research. I have always thought that no
matter what profession we practice, we
inevitably seek to identify our expressive
possibilities, to come up with answers to
our own questions.
When I read the second script he
had prepared, with just the working title
"WASP 2016" (Woody Allen Summer
Project 2016), I was faced with a story that
at first seems tranquil on the surface, but
has a variety of conflicts going on underneath. It is a story about an American family
set in 1945 on Coney Island, a resort area in
Brooklyn, with very long scenes full of
dialogue between the various individuals.
In my ignorance I knew nothing
about Coney Island, and this left my figurative imagination somewhat at a loss;
however, the respect and collaboration I
received from Woody on both a professional and human level convinced me that
our expressive relationship would continue.
Nonetheless, I was afraid that I
would not be able to come up with a
pivotal figurative idea for the visual. I
confessed all this to Woody, who immediately put my mind at rest by assuring me
that we would come up with a specific
vision of the film. And then the idea of a
superficially serene world in which life's
problems later surface suddenly brought to
mind Norman Rockwell's painting of the
postwar period: a vision of life that was all
sweetness and light on the outside, but
conflicted at its heart.
When I arrived in New York, Woody
immediately gave me the necessary support
to implement a vision that contrasted
