"I'm also trying to develop a couple of projects myself." - sounds interesting. Nice article PGG.

I read this in the Zen in Australia thread back in April. I remember commenting there were 2 interviews, one from his London home and one from his LA home that were released the same day. It was the eve of the show airing in Australia.
If anyone missed this - check out the other thread.

not 100% related , but here's a very fine review, done by an intalian on imdb...or a part of it. I loved it, and since i know a bit about their country and culture, I couldn't but agree:) "I'm Italian, so I was curious to see the show because it claimed to portray "real" Italy, not the oh-it's-so-lovely-in-Tuscany crap. Pretty accurate. I won't go into the detective plots, which are average at best and full of implausibilities (also, the reality of Italy in 2010, with Berlusconi in charge and all that it implies, surpasses any fiction...  ); I won't complain if a guy throws himself from a balcony of a prostitute in full daylight and it doesn't make the news or cause a new investigation: the show thrives on visuals, on quirky dialogue and on its actors. And Rome itself looks like the most beautiful place in the known universe - which it basically is. Some scenes are so lovingly shot in golden light that you nearly feel the heat in those narrow alleys, in the eternal Italian early Summer that Zen probably inhabits. Rufus Sewell is absolutely Italian, totally rocking the suit-and-sunglasses look (if you think he looks pretentious walking around like that, try walking through central Rome any day; guys like that are a dime a dozen here). He also nails the body language - in CABAL, the face he makes when Arianna tells him she is "a lady of the night" is really "in a different language" compared to how British actors would ever react, and the scenes with his Mom (who by the way is a French actress but nobody apparently noticed the different accent) perfectly express the way Italians feel forever 12 when under the scrutiny of their Mamma." From here: www.imdb.com/title/tt1618371/reviews |
