Riwayat Hidup
Gabriele Salvatores (born 30 July 1950) is an Italian Academy Award -winning film director and screenwriter.
Born in Naples , Salvatores debuted as a theater director in 1972, founding in Milan the Teatro dell'Elfo, for which he directed several avant-garde pieces until 1989.
In that year, he directed his third feature film, Marrakech Express , which was followed in 1990 by Turné .
Both films shared a group of actor-friends, including Diego Abatantuono and Fabrizio Bentivoglio , who will be present in many of his later movies.
Turné was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival.
In 1991, Salvatores received international praise for Mediterraneo , which won an Academy Award as best foreign film.
It also won three David di Donatello , the most important award for Italian cinema, and a Nastro d'Argento .
In 1992, he released Puerto Escondido , from the eponymous novel by Pino Cacucci , in which Abatantuono and Bentivoglio were joined by another standard actor for Salvatores, Claudio Bisio .
The following year he directed Sud , featuring Silvio Orlando , an attempt to denounce the political and social situation of the Mezzogiorno of Italy seen from the point of view of the unemployed and those at the margins of society.
The main themes of Salvatores' screenplays are escape from a reality that cannot be accepted or understood, nostalgia for friends, and voyages that never end.
A new experimental period, however, started in 1997 with Nirvana , a science fiction/ cyberpunk attempt which received mixed reviews.
This was followed by the surreal Denti ( Teeth , 2000), and Amnèsia (2002).
Both featured Sergio Rubini .
In 2003 he directed the financially successful I'm Not Scared , based on the Niccolò Ammaniti novel of the same name.
In 2005 he directed the noir Quo Vadis, Baby? .
His 2008 film As God Commands was entered into the 31st Moscow International Film Festival.

Leo Bernardi is a successful and acclaimed Italian director. He’s approaching the end of his career but he cannot accept his slow decline. He has just finished shooting his last movie and he’s deeply sad. The movie is inspired by the novel about Casanova written by Arthur Schnitzler, a character so similar to the director, even more than he could imagine. Schnitzler’s Casanova is aged, glory days are over: he lost his charm and his attraction to women, he’s broke and no more eager to travel through Europe. After a long exile, he just wants to go back to Venice, his homeland. While traveling home Casanova meets a girl, Marcolina. She reawakens his desire, lost for years. So, he tries to seduce her but that leads him to a tragic understanding: he’s an old man now. It’s not by chance that Leo Bernardi decided to tell this story right now, in a pivotal moment of his life and career. The destiny of both Casanova and his director leads them to a final confrontation.
