Alessandro Siani pays homage to the public
Enthusiastic about the success, director and actor Alessandro Siani wanted to dedicate a special thought to the spectators who contributed to making the film a true triumph. “My thoughts are aimed at our audience. You and I need to talk: Thank you so much!”, these are his words full of meaning and irony addressed directly to the spectators. A message that underlines the special bond between the author and the audience, the true engine of cinematic success.
But the other basic ingredient for this film's recipe for success is also the presence on the set of two giants of comedy. The winning duo formed by Alessandro Siani and Leonardo Pieraccioni undoubtedly played a decisive role in capturing the attention of the spectators. Both already beloved for their unmistakable style, the two actor-directors (but here the director is only Siani) have joined forces in a project that has been able to expertly mix humour, emotion and current themes, creating an engaging and suitable cinematic experience at all ages.
