- THE DIRECTORS
Cipri and Maresco, enfant terrible of Italian cinema, are considered the most original filmmakers of their country. Strongly revolted against the mediocrity of contemporary Italian cinema, its hypocritical and narcissistic comedies to uninterrupted flow of words, and especially its film policies which are intended to be informers of injustice. The two directors, who reject paresse narratives, are not concerned about writing a scenario built and of meaning. They focus on improvisation, long shots, silence, black and white dialects, the paradoxes and provocations.
Claiming the influence of classical Hollywood cinema (John Ford, Howard Hawks, Laurel and Hardy), and obviously impregnated films of Pier Paolo Pasolini and Luis Buñuel, Cipri and Maresco make together since 1986, films which are immersed in popular culture of their city, Palermo, and in which we find this characteristic humor tinged with a tragic and metaphysics (eg Pirandello).
THE MOVIE
Toto who lived twice has been shown in the official selection at Berlin in 1998 and banned in Italy even before its release: "This film is an attack against the sacred against the man. Nothing can be cut. This is a message not pointless and perverse, totally negative", said one of the censors. What the directors say: "Our film is a film with a religious sense of the sacred other than blasphemy. Of course, our messiah is of Palermo, it is not traditional". Many filmmakers, fans of the work of Cipri and Maresco, have argued during the trial, Bernardo Bertolucci, Marco Bellocchio, Fernando Solanas, Mario Monicelli, Giuseppe de Santis and Mario Martone for example.
CENSORSHIP
Daniele Cipri and Franco Maresco suffered very severe attack from many people who even publicly admitted not having seen the film. Leonardo Ancona, psychologist and chairman of the committee of censorship, said that the film was an attack against the Italian people and against all humanity and that Cipri and Maresco were two psychopaths who hate the world.Franco Zeffirelli escribió:I must confess, from the bottom of my heart, my sadness and my discomfort to such a film devoid of any form of sentiment and values. In what society do we live? Why do you thus these films? Should be the heart of the matter. This is something that is deeply against humanity, society and the fundamental values of man and I think that in a case like this, total censorship is necessary. And as for me I will not see this movie because I already know what it is and I do not want to sully my eye.
The outright ban of the film has created a scandal in Italy, and the first consequence was the abolition of the film censorship in this country which was one of the last European countries to practice. The film released six months later (prohibited under 18), but battalions of Catholic fanatics crash before the cinemas to prevent access to viewers. As the producer, directors and co-screenwriter of the film, they will be accused of contempt and attempted fraud against the state. The trial, which lasted two years, will finally be won by them. But during that time, they will be deprived of any subsidy for their projects.
Beginning in 2009, the Attorney Piro who was very aggressive at the time of trial, declared on a new affair between art and religion (Christ erect by Federico Solmi): "With Totò who lived twice it was different, because this film is a work of art".
