has become known for a particular type of naturalism born from observing – and then depicting – life in contemporary Calabria, specifically in the coastal town of Gioia Tauro, known as an ‘Ndrangheta mob hotbed, in a trilogy that started with “Mediterranea,”“A Chiara.”
By now, it’s no exaggeration to say that you’ve created a world. Or rather you’ve managed to capture a Calabrian universe that seems so real, it’s hard to believe it’s being acted out, and by non-professionals to boot. How do you do it? I am able to create such a safe space because we know each other so well before we even make the film. Really we are a group of people jumping in and looking to do the exact same thing. Swami, I’ve known since she was nine. And her family, [the Rotolo family] I’ve known for just as long. I first wrote the treatment in 2015. So over the years I’ve been able to insert some things from her real life into the script, so that the character becomes more like her.
That’s the key: the preparation. The preparation is letting them [the actors] know what we are going to do and the general arc of where their character is going and what’s going to be in the film. So they never arrive on the day and are told something that is completely new and crazy and strange and foreign to them. That’s never the case.
