The season of movie festivals on the Côte d'Azur began at the end of May with the Monte-Carlo Comedy Film Festival, which delighted HelloMonaco with one special member of the jury. Our guest is a Hollywood screenwriter, actor, producer and director, winner of two Oscars - Nick Vallelonga.
His story in the movie “The Green book”was a revelation to the world. A bouncer, Frank "Tony Lip" Vallelonga and an Afro-American virtuoso jazz pianist Donald Shirley, what could they possibly have in common? In the biographical film The Green Book, the newly-minted friends go on an amazing journey, after which both their lives change forever. The issues of racism, the story of true friendship and two different destinies are more relevant today than ever.
HelloMonaco found out how to take the director's chair next to Francis Coppola at the age of 12 , why the movie The Green Book was criticised and how it feels to stand on stage with two Academy Awards.
