The new film from the director of Children of the Night is a teen drama with touches of horror shot in Alto Adige, produced by Warner Bros. Entertainment Italia and Vivo Film. Andrea De Sica is filming a new teen drama. Following his feature debut Children of the Night and having directed the Netflix series Baby (whose third season is expected online in September), the 38-year-old director, grandson of the great Vittorio De Sica, returns to set for Non mi uccidere, a film produced by Warner Bros. Entertainment Italia and Vivo Film (Marta Donzelli and Gregorio Paonessa) and which has begun filming in Alto Adige. Written by Gianni Romoli, the collective Grams and De Sica himself, and freely inspired by Chiara Palazzolo’s novel of the same name, Non mi uccidere is an intense love story with touches of horror: Mirta loves Robin like crazy, and he promises to love her.
Vivo Film, the Italian shingle at Berlin with Abel Ferrara’s “Siberia,” has a robust slate in various stages including the next drama by Laura Bispuri, whose “Sworn Virgin” and “Daughter of Mine” both launched from the Berlinale.
Bispuri later this year will shoot her third feature, which is currently titled “Di Lotta e D’Amore” (“Of Battle and Love”), a love story between two teen girls set against the backdrop of squatters’ houses and other spaces occupied by both Italians and immigrants on Rome’s outskirts. She is working with her regular writer Laura Manieri.
The Rome-based indie headed by Marta Donzelli and Gregorio Paonessa — which has the distinction of being the Italian company that landed the most Berlin lineup slots in recent years — has several other new pics by emerging Italian directors in the pipeline.
They include:
“Miss Marx” — Susanna Nicchiarelli, whose “Nico, 1988,” about the late German chanteuse...
