Valeria Golino has been reading, writing, drinking coffee, acting, and thinking about Fellini. Her impressive debut feature, "Honey," opened in New York last Friday and expands to Los Angeles this weekend, but she's in need of inspiration for her next film. "I need my '8 ½,'" Golino said in a recent interview.
It just so happens Fellini's assistant director on that film was the Italian Lina Wertmüller, the first woman nominated for the Academy Award in directing (for "Seven Beauties") That was 1976. Since then, the list of Italian female filmmakers has not exactly blossomed. Of the films screened by the Film Society of Lincoln Center in the New Italian Cinema series last year, three out of eleven had female directors — not enough to fill one page of Silvio Berlusconi's little black book.
