DONOSO AND CINEMA
by Pamela Bienzobas
On October 5, José Donoso be 75 years of a life devoted to literature, but was also marked by his eternal and disagreements with other art: cinema.
As a ritual, every Sunday José Donoso and his wife Maria Pilar hung out with Carlos Cerda and his wife to go to the function of vermouth, and then to dinner together. Donoso loved the movie, although not defined as a cinephile. It was "a hundred percent novelist, as he remembers his friend and colleague, and the film never went from being an afterthought to him.
However, his life, his work and talks have been captured on celluloid. Because it has been the protagonist and main subject of documentary (Pepe Donoso Donoso by Donoso, Carlos Flores, and meeting with José Donoso, Benjamin Galemiri), many of his stories and novels have been made into movies or video, and if While Donoso Cerda says that he did not like writing scripts, the filmmaker Silvio Caiozzi impresses still remember the speed and ease with which he wrote dialogues "Almost perfect."
"It was a machine gun in the typewriter. I was surprised that did not stop and think a little. It was as if he had engraved on his brain the way he talks this or that character," recalls Caiozzi, who hopes to list "Coronation" in December. And although not enough to work on the project because of the sensitive Donoso health writer somehow felt I was not alone.
"I started to write the script, and I swear a few times in my life I've been so inspired. When I finished it was left with the feeling that Pepe had helped me," he laughs, pointing to the sky.
is that since its first meeting Donoso Caiozzi and were making plans to work together. In 1979, during the Festival of Huelva, Spain, after watching Julio comienza en Julio Donoso moved to propose to make a film this Sunday, but the director seemed too similar to Julio ..., and contact was lost. "We saw each other again until they called me to direct stroke of an oak History only (nouvelle included four for Delfina) for TV." Seeing the result, Donoso again suggested the idea of \u200b\u200bbringing a story to the movies together.
The first stories that the writer failed to convince showed Caiozzi visually. "I was suddenly called and I said 'I have an idea. I went to Valparaiso and it occurred to me one thing. "" This time, the director immediately visualized the three characters created by Donoso, and in about a month I was ready the script for The Moon in the mirror.
Then
working together to Caiozzi one of the most wonderful experiences you have had, came the filming and post-production eternal: the director just could devote weekends to the film, which took about three years to complete. Despite difficulties, never thought to leave. And it was through perseverance that the project did not end like so many of the incursions of the National Literature Prize in film: nothing.
Due to the quality of his work, Donoso was always sought by the film, although 90% of the project was stopped, said Cerda, who says that "those who prospered is largely due to the talent and perseverance Silvio Caiozzi. "
Anyway, all the times you sold the rights to her novels for the cinema, there were some who actually came to be. In fact, this is not the first adaptation of Coronation. Previously, Mexican Olhovit Sergio Donoso made a version that never saw, but the view of his friend Carlos Fuentes is the worst film ever made in your country. Also in Mexico was made a television series based on this Sunday .. And in Chile, a group of students directed a video about the story Santelices.
course, the efforts did not materialize were much higher. Among many others, Anthony Quinn bought the rights to Casa de Campo, but the movie never filmed. Carlos Flores, like the English Eduardo Lurcay (Tristana producer) wanted to adapt Gaspar of the night, one of the three novels bourgeois. Federico Fellini would have been another of those interested in The Obscene Bird of Night, Donoso's first novel to his friend Luis Buñuel wanted to film. The other project ever attempted in English-and the big dream José Donoso failed was the place without limits, which finally took place on Mexican Arturo Ripstein, written by Manuel Puig.
was also The Obscene Bird of Night the book that caught the attention of Michelangelo Antonioni, who contacted the writer to say that although the novel was not within his line, his style was very much interested, and ordered a script. Donoso entusiasmadísimo sat to write, but soon after this encounter with the cinema rather were missed, as Carlos Cerda-ended with a call from the narrator to inform you that Antonioni could not do the job. After writing the first pages history, Donovan realized he was not writing a script, but a novel. Four years later he was listed country house, and Italian director ran out of the movie. Among
Donoso curious incursions into the area is a screenplay about the last days of Rimbaud in Africa, written with Leonard Schrader (writer of Mishima and The Kiss of the Spider Woman). The closest he came to was made in the form of a musical comedy starring the singer Patti Smith. "Whatever you want, but without me," would have been the response of the novelist. Of course nothing was done finally.
Another project unfinished was the soap opera that Jose Donoso began writing for Televisa by the end of his life. Cerda said that his friend took the job to afford the costs of his illness, but she overcame it, before finishing the script. And before you can realize a secret desire: to lead. 20 years ago filmed a documentary on Picasso in Spain, but the film was lost even before mounting.
Later, the idea remained. "I'd have a technician next to me to advise me. But I love, I think it would be something exciting," he said in an interview with Focus magazine disappeared. "I think the assembly is in the best interests me and is the most creative, is what gives rhythm, form. It is the most similar to the literature, is what allows one to 'read' the film. ".
