He said: “Ever since I sat down with my grandparents and parents, more than 70 years ago, and watched Rossellini’s Paisà on television, Italian cinema has held a very special place in my heart, a presence that has guided me, has sustained, encouraged me in my work as a filmmaker.
“It is very meaningful for me to receive this honor at this time in my life, here in this beautiful museum in Turin dedicated to the history of one of the great loves of my life, Italian cinema.”

‘But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the initial impulse was wrong.
‘Let’s go back. Let’s think about it. You can reject it. But it could make a difference in how you live your life, even by rejecting it. Don’t dismiss it suddenly. That’s all I’m talking about.
