The translation is here….
Thank you. This thing is beautiful.
This country has given me so many gifts over the years. It gave me the culture, the literature, the great cinema, the art, the food, the wine, the grappa. It also gave me a beautiful wife and two wonderful kids. That’s why beeing here, in this country, with this award in my hands, is perhaps the biggest honour of my life.
I’m here thanks to the gift that Tom Ford gave me. He gave me his trust.
He had a really personal, precious, and important thing for him, and he put it in my hands. And then it became personal, precious, and important for me too. Something to keep forever. He also gave me the opportunity to work with some great talents and friends like Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode, Nicholas Hoult.
I share this with you all.
(speaks in English)
Tom, I can’t wait to see the next movie you’ll make.
(speaks in English)
And to my beautiful wife who has inspired me, loved me, supported me for 15 years, with the patience to tolerate this strange roles, and all this different husbands whom she lives with. Thanks to you all here, thanks to the jury, thanks to the Festival.
