The day after the controversy triggered by Pierfrancesco Favino on the choice of Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari, many directors and actors intervened on the matter. Can an American actor play an Italian in a major production? Venice 80, Pierfrancesco Favino: “Absurd to accept that foreign actors make Ferraris” 02 September 2023 Second Puppets Avati: “Favino is absolutely right. Since it often happens that Americans make films about Italians, he has a perfect sense that they are played by Italians.
Ferrari, a Modenese, who comes from Nebraska, is a bit funny”. Mads Mikkelsen on Italian roles for foreigners: “I understand Favino, the problem is the dubbing” from our correspondent Arianna Finos 03 September 2023 He also thinks so Edwige Fenech: “Favino is right, the Americans have had much more space in Italian films than the other way around. Even if Favino has had several appearances in American films, we absolutely cannot make a comparison. Also in the Gucci film, for God’s sake, the actors are great actors but they are not Italian, besides the fact that a pitiful veil needs to be drawn over the film, it is certainly not the right way to paint a family”.
“The theme raised by Pierfrancesco Favino, who is a dear friend of mine, is a very complex issue – he commented instead Gabriele Salvatores he was also in Venice where yesterday evening he was a guest at Giorgio Armani’s party – on which we should reflect in more depth and in any case the fact that we are discussing it today demonstrates the importance of the theme”.
