Top 5 Luca Marinelli performances
Primo (Trust). Primo is Luca's tour de force, and I think the first time I realized how deeply he disappears into the characters he plays. He looks different from Nicky, moves differently, talks differently, GLARES differently. And that scene with the dance . . . hot damn.
Nicky (The Old Guard). This is how (much like Columbus) I discovered Luca. And oh, how I love this character and how much warmth and kindness he injects into him, as well as being abso-fucking-lutely lethal. One bullet!
Mickey (A Dangerous Fortune). This guy is a douchcanoe. But Luca's having so much FUN making him an evil wanknozzle. His face is a national treasure.
Pietro (Eight Mountains). Ahhhhhh. AHHHHHHHH. AHHHH. Just . . . my GOD.
Lui (Ricordi?). I love this movie, but the scene where Lui samples all the perfumes and finds the one that reminds him of Lei, then breaks down on the floor? MY HEART. Jiminy.
