Laetitia Casta and Roschdy Zem on stage
Ettore Scola’s film A certain day (1977), which reunited Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, has already been brought to the theater. Jacques Weber played with Nicole Courcelle, then Françoise Fabian… It’s the turn of Letitia Casta and Roshdi Zemin, a sexy duo, to take on the roles of Antonietta and Gabriele. This particular day is May 6, 1938, when Mussolini received Hitler with much fanfare. It is also the fact that the mother met a large family and a homosexual intellectual who is threatened with deportation. Two lonely and moving souls.

His relationship with Eve, the “first woman” he falls in love with, is also the first step to other shores, and the knowledge of a new sexuality, a new way of being in the world, as we move beyond heterosexuality. . Learning is also a question of form A splitseries one by Iris Bray Sex and the series and: The Female Gaze: A Revolution on the Screen, two seminal works that analyze representations of gender and sexuality in film and soap operas. Here we learn how to shoot women’s bodies and love scenes in different ways; that passion does not preclude consent, and that gentleness takes nothing away from eroticism. A step forward to a new look, a new prism.
