In the picturesque setting of the Baia del Silenzio<\/strong>, in Sestri Levante<\/strong>, the Riviera International Film Festival<\/strong> was held again this year from 9 to 14 May. It is a committed cinema<\/strong> with educational and informative purposes<\/strong> for society.<\/p>\n

The Ligurian town is the cradle of the kermis featuring the so-called rebel cinema<\/strong> filmed worldwide by emerging young directors under 35<\/strong>. Documentaries, short films, and more than 30 films <\/strong>that go beyond the ordinary with a diligent focus on the social and environmental issues<\/strong> of most significant concern. Meetings with directors, actors from Italy and international cinema, crowned by an exclusive final awards evening.<\/p>\n

La caccia<\/strong> <\/em>(The hunt<\/em>) is among the out-of-competition projections<\/strong>, followed by an interview with director Bocci. After A Tor Bella Monaca non piove mai<\/em>, Marco Bocci plays the director role for the second time<\/strong>.\u00a0It is a challenging step that denotes a certain maturity in his career, but one that has been a long time coming. Bocci is not a casual entrant into the film industry and television. The <\/span>talented actor<\/span><\/strong>, a well-known face on the big screen and TV, has a respectable career behind him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marco Bocci theatre, cinema and TV actor<\/h2>\n

He grew up, trained and graduated in\u00a0<\/span>Acting<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0at the\u00a0<\/span>Conservatorio Teatrale d’Arte Drammatica<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in Rome,\u00a0<\/span>La Scaletta<\/span><\/em>. His work ground is the theatre, where he experiments and gains experience, acquiring the\u00a0<\/span>awareness of a complete artist<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0capable of playing any role. He made his debut in his early twenties in\u00a0<\/span>Pupi Avati’s<\/span><\/strong>I cavalieri che fecero l’impresa<\/span><\/em>. His real success came with the Spanish soap opera\u00a0<\/span>Los Borgia<\/span><\/em>\u00a0in 2006 and, in the same year, with the Italian mini-series\u00a0<\/span>Lo zio d’America 2<\/span><\/em>. The year 2006, a particularly fruitful year for Marco Bocci, allowed him to join the cast of the fiction\u00a0<\/span>Caterina e le sue figlie 2<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

He became even more popular with the TV series\u00a0<\/span>Romanzo Criminale<\/span><\/em>\u00a0in 2008. Then it was the turn of the series\u00a0<\/span>Ho sposato uno sbirro<\/span><\/em>, in which he was engaged between 2008 and 2010, and he later launched himself into the\u00a0<\/span>world of cinema<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0with the brilliant comedy\u00a0<\/span>C’\u00e8 chi dice no<\/span><\/em>. And again,\u00a0<\/span>La bella societ\u00e0<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(2010),\u00a0<\/span>Scusate se esisto!<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(2014),\u00a0<\/span>Italo<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(2015),\u00a0<\/span>Solo<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(2016) and\u00a0<\/span>Bastardo a mano armata<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(2021).<\/span><\/p>\n

After a long and promising professional career, he took his first steps as a\u00a0<\/span>director<\/span><\/strong>. Directing the 2019 film\u00a0<\/span>A Tor Bella Monaca non piove mai<\/span><\/em>, he ventures into the actual birth of a movie. From the paper to the film product, from the\u00a0<\/span>setting<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0to the\u00a0<\/span>interpretation of the actors<\/span><\/strong>, the\u00a0<\/span>framing<\/span><\/strong>, the\u00a0<\/span>narration<\/span><\/strong>, and the\u00a0<\/span>direction of the filming<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0arriving at the\u00a0<\/span>editing<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0is no easy feat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Bocci has masterfully created a delicate, complex film that\u00a0<\/span>delves into the human soul<\/span><\/strong>. The setting in the Roman suburbs, which embody the emblem of\u00a0<\/span>social troubles<\/span><\/strong>, is a choice that undoubtedly calls for a more significant commitment to portraying the\u00a0<\/span>vivid colours <\/span><\/strong>and feelings <\/span><\/strong>of a neighbourhood in Rome far removed from the times and stories of Fellini’s\u00a0<\/span>La dolce vita<\/span><\/em>. It is a profound analysis and a keen eye on the problems of a<\/span>\u00a0borderline world<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0where illegality is just around the corner to make ends meet.<\/span><\/p>\n

La caccia<\/em><\/h3>\n

Only four years later, the\u00a0<\/span>success of 2023<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0is his s<\/span>econd directorial performance<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0<\/span>La Caccia\u00a0<\/span><\/em>(namely The hunt), a film not to be missed. Bocci returns to the theme of\u00a0<\/span>complicated family relationships<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and the inadequacy of an\u00a0<\/span>anaffective father<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0who expresses his strict personality through his passion for hunting. He directs, scripts and subjects a drama in which, like an\u00a0<\/span>alchemist,<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0he succeeds in\u00a0<\/span>centring and balancing the scenic presences<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0of the characters without anyone standing out above the others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four brothers<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0still bearing a heavy\u00a0<\/span>burden<\/span><\/strong>, a childhood that clipped their wings. They have the ever-present sword of Damocles and the spectre of a father who imprisoned them in their\u00a0<\/span>insecurities<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>weaknesses<\/span><\/strong>. The\u00a0<\/span>hunt<\/span><\/em>\u00a0is a metaphor for the\u00a0<\/span>search for stability<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in an inadequacy that marks this family. Ultimately, it is a cross-section of our society, which, amidst\u00a0<\/span>precariousness<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>uncertainties<\/span><\/strong>, is constantly travailing and surviving in an eternal struggle.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a\u00a0<\/span>meticulous study<\/span><\/strong>, where Bocci is attentive to the smallest detail and capable of exploring the human soul and mind like a few. We are dealing with a\u00a0<\/span>structured project<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0by a\u00a0<\/span>sensitive person<\/span><\/strong>, even before being a\u00a0<\/span>good and experienced director<\/span><\/strong>, of an artist who has reached a remarkable level in human and professional terms.<\/span><\/p>\n
