Daniele Luchetti
Daniele Luchetti (born 25 July 1960) is an Italian film director, screenwriter and actor.
He was born in Rome. He debuted as assistant director for Nanni Moretti in Bianca (1983) and La messa è finita (1985). Luchetti's first film as director was Domani accadrà of 1988, which won a David di Donatello as best debuting film and received a mention in the 1988 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
His subsequent work was the successful Il portaborse (1991), featuring Silvio Orlando as the ghost-writer of a ruthless politician, played by Nanni Moretti. It was seen as a forecast of the Mani Pulite corruption scandal that struck Italy the following year. The film won four David di Donatello awards.
Luchetti's theatre spectacle Sottobanco, inspired to Domenico Starnone's works, was later turned into a feature film entitled La scuola ("The School", 1995).
His most recent films are Mio fratello è figlio unico (2006), and La nostra vita (2010), which is scheduled to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.[2][3]
Luchetti has also directed a number of documentaries and advertisements.
