Rai1 has decided to re-propose the episode of the series on Tuesday 30 November Once upon a time there was Vigata by title “The hunting season”, Born from the magical pen of Andrea Camilleri, directed by Roan Johnson and interpreted by Francesco Scianna, Miriam Dalmazio, Tommaso Ragno, Ninni Bruschetta, Giorgio Marchesi, Alessio Vassallo and with the participation of Donatella Finocchiaro. However, everything did not go smoothly.
Around 11.30pm the network directed by Stefano Coletta he cut the ending, interrupted the vision of the film and gave the line to “Door to door“. After the commercial closure, he appeared in the studio Bruno Vespa with his guests to talk about covids and vaccines. The viewers were left with a dry mouth, they could not attend the hearing of the case.
A management that is questionable to say the least that aroused the immediate reaction of the director of the film Roan Johnson: “How can you comment on the fact that in prime time on Rai1 a film is cut 15 minutes from the end because – I guess eh – It leads to Does the door go too far? How do you apologize to the spectators, to everyone who worked on the film and to Camilleri? Perhaps The Hunting Season it should be open to find the person responsible for Rai (which in my opinion is the first to be damaged last night) ”, he wrote on his Facebook profile.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to imagine a form of censorship. Not only for the importance of the product but above all because the transposition of Camilleri’s novel published in 1992 was broadcast, entirely, on first TV on February 25, 2019, seen by 7,115,000 viewers with a 30.8% share.
A treatment that has not only aroused the reaction of the director but also of many users who on social networks have expressed all their amazement at what happened: “How to ruin a beautiful thing”, “Shameful, absurd”, “Obscene and no logical act “,” Worse than the local TV of the 70s “. With direct criticism of Bruno Vespa held responsible by many for the anticipated ending, even if “Door to door”During the season it also aired at a later time. Rai sources let a FqMagazine that it was just a technical error. Will the official apologies arrive? Meanwhile, Bruno Vespa’s reply arrived: “Only deeply incompetent people or in sensational bad faith they can imagine that I have the authority or the simple intention to cut the program that precedes Porta a Porta to go on air early. It is sad to see among these also the director of Camilleri’s film, Roan Johnson ”. And again: “Johnson just had to phone the producer Carlo degli Esposti who called me amicably early in the morning to find out what had happened. And of course I replied that I didn’t know anything about it. To attack a professional before you have a shred of information it demonstrates the wild state to which unfortunately so many people have been reduced ”.
