Life and career

Born in Grosseto in 1961, Falaschi graduated in film history from the University of Florence and began his career writing for several industry magazines, including Segnocinema. [1] He made his directorial debut in 1997 with "Furto con destrezza", a segment starring Giorgio Tirabassi included in the Corti stellari collective film. He later directed Quasi fratelli, which earned him the David di Donatello for Best Short Film. [2] [3] In 1999, he also directed the short Adidabuma, featuring Elda Alvigini  [ it ], Pierfrancesco Favino, and Marco Giallini. [4]

His first feature film, I Am Emma , was released in 2002 with Cecilia Dazzi in the lead role. The comedy earned Falaschi nominations for Best New Director at both the David di Donatello and the Nastro d'Argento, though he did not win either award. [3] [5] Five years later, he directed his second feature, Last Minute Marocco , a comedy starring Valerio Mastandrea, Maria Grazia Cucinotta, and Nicolas Vaporidis. [6]

His third feature, Questo mondo è per te , was released in 2011. Filmed in the Maremma region between Follonica, Grosseto, and Scansano, it starred Cecilia Dazzi, Paolo Sassanelli, and newcomer Matteo Petrini in the lead role. [7]

In 2018, Falaschi returned to cinemas with As Needed , his fourth feature film, centered on the friendship between a disgraced chef and a young cook with Asperger syndrome. The film stars Vinicio Marchioni, Luigi Fedele  [ it ], and Valeria Solarino. [8] [9]
