“In the end I won against the bullies” – Corriere.it

Micaela Ramazzotti describes her character, in “Cursed spring” by Elisa Amoruso, at the Film Festival, as “a neurotic, distracted, tired of the ups and downs with her husband (Giampaolo Morelli) trafficking at work, but is in love with him, always screams but also screams at herself her unhappiness, her his frustration “.
Is it a role that reminds you of others of yours?
«Maybe yes, to the cinema I carry my fears, my passion for slightly crazy women. In this film we see a ramshackle family from the Roman suburbs. At the center is the friendship between the daughter and a mulatto girl, in the 90s ».
And how do you remember your adolescence in those same years?
«I felt alone, I had an artistic attitude that made me different, I was not understood, I was a rebel but to please others, in reality I was shy, reflective. A bit borderline, between madness and sadness. The escapes on a scooter secretly from my mother, who imposed a curfew on me … ».
And did her friends make fun of her?
“Yes, for big teeth, and because I was flat, they called me surf. I reinforced the bra with socks. In a stall I found a padded costume, my older friends, a little cruel, said to me: why the winter costume? ».
Was becoming an actress a revenge?
«Yes, an interior redemption, even if I became one by chance and I didn’t understand if I wanted to do this job. I left home with an empty luggage, few films seen, few books read. I wanted to prove that I had made it. But I remained a lone wolf. During the lockdown, I holed up at home to see movie after movie. I’m a misanthrope, they have to push me to go to the red carpet ».

“Dawn of the Vampire” (2000)

Even in the film, her daughter’s friends are merciless.
“It happens when they invent that the mulatto girl’s mother was a prostitute. Among other things, it is the role I’m playing in Michele Placido’s film about Caravaggio. Lena, whom he loved and portrayed in his paintings where the apostles are tramps and the Madonnas prostitutes. I would like to make a documentary about them, I saw one near my house, not young, with a sweet face, I gave her an imaginary name, Nina, we said hello. I thought about his life, about the trampled ability to love. In the film I looked for his candor, the vivacity of his eyes ».
Do you feel the female gaze of the director?
“When the lights go out, I just follow the film and I let myself go, I try to get excited without asking myself if the director is male or female. Pietrangeli told women in an incredible way ».
Once she dreamed of Silvana Mangano’s path, from mondina to sophisticated.
“Today I identify more with the expressiveness of Gena Rowlands. In The night of the premiere, despite being a drama, she reminds me of a clown, which is how I feel. I think of a scene I shot at night, I was running away on foot along the highway and the director was filming me running behind me, while people were filming me with their cell phones. What am I but a clown? I don’t like to take myself very seriously, after all I’m here to entertain the public ».
