Although documentaries were a safer bet, there were discoveries to be made among the fiction features. The riveting actor Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi stars in her own first feature, It Is Easier for a Camel. Ostensibly a poor-little-rich girl satiric comedy - the heroine comes close to a nervous breakdown trying to cope with the prospect of inheriting a billion dollars - it is much more a depiction of the effect that the death of a father has on the daughter who adored and was adored by him. As a director, Bruni-Tedeschi shapes the film to her own impulsive, awkward,and headstrong acting rhythms,and the big surprise is that the narcissism that usually crip- ples such ventures doesn't manifest itself at all.
尽管纪录片更为稳妥,但剧情片中仍有值得发掘的佳作。魅力非凡的演员瓦莱丽娅·布鲁尼-泰代斯基自导自演了首部剧情长片《骆驼更容易》。表面上这是部讽刺富家千金的喜剧——女主角因面临继承十亿遗产而几近精神崩溃——但更深刻地展现了父亲离世对深爱且被深爱的女儿造成的冲击。布鲁尼-泰代斯基以导演身份将影片塑造成符合其即兴、笨拙且倔强的表演节奏,令人惊喜的是,通常会令此类创作瘫痪的自恋倾向在此片中竟毫无踪迹。(翻译来自deepl)
