It is just published (past few hours) by the Spectator the article ‘I am not able to answer your question’: an irascible Paolo Sorrentino interviewed, from Hermione Eyre:
> Loving the films of the Italian auteur Paolo Sorrentino, I thought he’d be easy to chat to. But a maestro is a maestro, as I was reminded when I interviewed him in London last week. Masked and communicating through a translator, I semaphored my admiration for his new film The Hand of God, starting with its spectacular opening shot. Like a bird, the camera flies over the sea, then focuses on a vintage car tooling along the promenade, before panning over the city again. But he rejected my praise: “It’s not complicated. It’s a normal shot by helicopter”
(Skimmers: the post is about the preference of Sorrentino about adherence to facts, instead of going for contributing to sustaining the interviewer's emotions. No, not all people are tribal.)
