Gabriele Salvatores (born 30 July 1950) is an Italian Academy Award-winning film director and screenwriter. ==Biography== Born in Naples, Salvatores debuted as a theatre 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 Silver Ribbon. 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. A good success was ''Io non-ho paura'' of 2003, from the Niccolò Ammaniti novel. In 2005 he directed the noir ''Quo Vadis, Baby?''. His 2008 film ''As God Commands'' was entered into the 31st Moscow International Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=31st Moscow International Film Festival (2009) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gabriele Salvatores」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
