I confirm that DeNiro's Italian was excellent, TIS. I was astonished when I realized that he was actually acting in Italian (or Sicilian or a mix )!!!!! What a genius! And what a pity that he's wasting his talent in such unimportant movies now.
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
And what a pity that he's wasting his talent in such unimportant movies now.
