Title: Francesca Chillemi: “We Need to Talk” – A Charming New Film for the Holidays
Francesca Chillemi, the talented Italian actress, joined Radio DEEJAY’s Andy and Mike for a phone interview to talk about her new film “Io e te dobbiamo parlare” (We Need to Talk). The movie, directed by Alessandro Siani, who also stars alongside Leonardo Pieraccioni, is a heartwarming holiday film that has been well-received by critics and audiences alike.
Chillemi shares her experience working on the set, particularly with Siani, who is known for his improvisational skills: “I worked mostly with Siani, as my character has more to do with his. It was fun and a different way of working, as he improvises continuously and I had to follow him. It was very entertaining, but also required a lot of concentration to keep up with him.”
The film, which premiered in Italian theaters on December 19, tells the story of two mismatched police officers, Antonio (played by Siani) and Pieraldo (played by Pieraccioni), who are forced to work together to solve a complex and dangerous case. Enter Sara, the charming and enigmatic character played by Chillemi, who may hold a secret that could change everything.
The movie, which has been praised for its witty humor, features a talented cast, including Brenda Lodigiani, Gea Dall’Oro, Euridice Axen, Tommaso Cassissa, Giovanni Esposito, Sergio Friscia, Biagio Izzo, Peppe Lanzetta, and Enrico Lo Verso.
Chillemi also spoke about her upcoming projects, including the new season of the popular television series “Che dio ci aiuti” (God Help Us), which is set to premiere in late February, and her appearance on the Italian version of “Ballando con le stelle” (Dancing with the Stars), where she was a contestant for one night: “I didn’t want to make a bad impression, so I said ‘Let me practice a lot.’ I think I was the one who practiced the most in the history of Ballando con le stelle. I’m very proud of myself, and I’m glad I got to experience it.”
As the holiday season approaches, “Io e te dobbiamo parlare” is a must-see film that is sure to delight audiences. With its charming characters, witty dialogue, and the chemistry between Siani and Pieraccioni, it’s a movie that will leave you smiling and cheering for more.
