 Al Pacino: Honored at Rome film festival
There is good news for the fans of Al Pachino. On Wednesday a lifetime achievement award for Oscar-winning actor Al Pacino has kicked off the Rome film festival on Wednesday, thereby bringing a Hollywood veteran to the movie showcase.
Details about Al Pacino have been gathered from multiple sources. As per their reports, Al Pacino has received the award as one of the great alumni of New York's Actors Studio. It was the celebrated drama school where he and other actors namely Robert De Niro, the late Paul Newman and Marilyn Monroe learned about business.
He also took questions from the public that is a trademark feature of the Rome festival where audiences get the opportunity of meeting their favorite stars.
"It's hard to put on a suit, and getting harder -- with shirt and tie," he said it jokingly at a press conference, by saying that he was thrilled about the award.
"You feel as though someone is giving you a party and you don't quite know what you did to deserve it," added Al Pacino.
He also spoke about "Salomaybe?," his third film as a director and an adaptation of Oscar
Wilde's once banned play, and also one of his most controversial works, "Salome."
"I pondered it and played with it for a few years ... I am still working on it, it's coming along," he said, adding he hoped to present it in Rome next year.
Al Pacino commented that he was "not crazy about making films" and saw himself as a performer, preferring theater stages to film sets.
Forwarding a quote of Tony Montana, the drugs boss in one of his best-known films, "Scarface," he said that good actors need not be good liars.
"In life we act, but in our art we go for the truth," continued Al.
The opening film of the Rome festival, which starts on October 31, is "L'Uomo Che Ama" (The Man Who Loves). It is an Italian love drama that stars Monica Bellucci is going to be premiered on Thursday. |
