When art meets cinema, fireworks explode!! Directors are like talent scouts, they wander around cities seeing exhibitions, entering into galleries and sneaking into artists’ workshops, all while searching for a work that moves them deeply and that will fit the character they are creating on film. These two worlds, seemingly so distant, come together thanks to great set design and lighting work.
2022 – American Night is a film from 2021, in the neo-noir genre, written and directed by Alessio Della Valle and set in the contemporary art world of New York. It is the director’s first feature film.
Davide Dall’Osso’s works of art were chosen to be included in the film, which was directed by Alessio della Valle and featured a fantastic cast including Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emile Hirsch, Paz Vega and many other great actors.
Plot of the movie: A courier carrying Andy Warhol’s famous Marilyn Rosa arrives in New York, where it is stolen. The disappearance of the painting starts a series of events that result in a meeting between Michael Rubino (Emile Hirsch), a New York mob boss, whose deepest desire is to devote his life to painting and become a well-known artist, and John Kaplan (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), an eccentric art dealer reputed to be the top expert on painting forgeries. From this meeting, a series of personal and legal problems emerge that John Kaplan will have juggle in order to save himself and the woman he loves, Sarah Flores (Paz Vega).
