PODCAST| Chiara Nicoletti interviews Richard Loncraine, director of the film Finding Your Feet.

At the past few festivals, there have been more and more films celebrating “old age” as a moment to enjoy and live without regrets and why not, even start again. This was the case of Our Souls at Night and Ella & John in Venice and at the 35th Torino Film Festival with Finding Your Feet, the opening film directed by Richard Loncraine. It is not the first time that Loncraine portrays this particolar moment in people’s life, the protagonists of his previous film, Ruth & Alex (Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman) had to face similar struggles. “I hope this is a film with a real heart” says Loncraine on FRED about Finding Your Feett, a tale of second chances, a love story between a man and a woman but also between two sisters who become close again. Loncraine reveals how great and easy it is to direct great actors such as Timothy Spall, Imelda Staunton and Celia Imrie and then explains the poignant choice of the italian song Tintarella di Luna for the protagonists’ trip to Rome.

Finding Your Feet: When ‘Lady’ Sandra Abbott (Imelda Staunton) discovers that her husband of forty years is having an affair with her best friend, she seeks refuge with her estranged, bohemian, older sister Bif (Celia Imrie). Sandra couldn’t be more different to her outspoken, serial dating, free spirited sibling. But it turns out different is just what Sandra needs and she reluctantly lets Bif drag her along to her community dance class, where gradually she starts finding her feet… and romance. Featuring a star studded cast including Imelda Staunton, Celia Imrie, Timothy Spall, Joanna Lumley and David Hayman, Finding Your Feet is a hilarious and heart-warming modern comedy proving that it’s never too late to start again.
