Moviegoing Memories is a series of short interviews with filmmakers about going to the movies. Adele Tulli's Normal is MUBI GO's Film of the week of September 27, 2019.
NOTEBOOK: How would you describe your movie in the least amount of words?
ADELE TULLI: Up close, what counts as normal does not feel so reassuring. Anymore.
NOTEBOOK: Where and what is your favourite movie theatre? Why is it your favorite?
TULLI: Bologna, Piazza Maggiore, Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival. Because it is an open-air collective experience, in the evening breeze of June, in one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, public, free, and open to anyone. With a selection of restored classic and rare films, often with live music accompaniment. Ultimate cinema paradiso.
NOTEBOOK: What is the most memorable movie screening of your life? Why is it memorable?
TULLI: Thelma & Louise, around eleven years old, on my own, on a VHS I found at home, a morning I stayed off school because I was not feeling well. Memorable because images of misbehaving women were so rare at the time. A thrilling gateway to adolescence.
NOTEBOOK: If you could choose one classic film to watch on the big screen, what would it be and why?
TULLI: Daisies, by Věra Chytilová, because of its fun, unapologetic, surreal and psychedelic hymn to rebellion. With every frame a painting.
