Anna Galiena was born on December 22, 1949, in Rome, Lazio, Italy as Anna Maria Galiena. She is an actress, known for The Hairdresser’s Husband (1990), Black Angel (2002), and Senza Pelle (1994). She is a multilingual actress who speaks Italian, English, and French, who has filmed in all these languages. She was a member of the Berlinale 2003 jury. Less fortunate was her love life, she was married twice, to an American writer and a French film producer, but in both cases, the marriage ended in divorce. Recently she has collaborated on several films in Italy, such as A custom-made love, Lessons in flight with Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Write it on the walls of Giancarlo Scarchilli. These are my top 10 Anna Galiena movies.
10. Falcone (1999) – Crime/Drama
Fact-based story about the political battle that was waged against the Mafia in Sicily during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Chazz Palminteri plays Giovanni Falcone, a crusading prosecutor who tried to use money trails as a way to attack the mobsters. He is aided by a former mobster (F. Murray Abraham) who volunteers to turn state’s evidence after his sons are killed by a renegade mob chief. With the mobster’s help, the prosecutor was able to obtain over 300 convictions.
9. Three Lives and Only One Death (1996) – Comedy/Crime
“Three Lives” stars Marcello Mastroianni in one of the last and most enchanting of his screen appearances. As if aware that time was running out, he plays three roles–or so we think, although by the end we learn there was perhaps only one. In a series of stories that first seem separate and then seem entwined, Mastroianni plays a man who shifts roles, costumes, and identities as readily as a street performer, moving effortlessly through his many lives
8. The Great Pumpkin (1993) – Drama/Comedy
Arturo (Sergio Castellitto) escapes the pain of his crumbling marriage by throwing himself into his work as a children’s psychiatrist. At the hospital one day, he notices a patient named Valentina (Alessia Fugardi), who has been told she has epilepsy. Arturo believes there has to be a deeper reason for her illness and takes over her case, despite protests from bureaucrats. Valentina begins intensive therapy, and Arturo’s innovative techniques lead the way to her recovery.
7. No Skin (1994) – Drama
Gina is a good-looking post-office clerk and Riccardo is a bus driver. They have been King together for five years, although not married, living an ordinary, everyday existence and finding happiness in little things.
Then one day Gina receives a wild, passionate declaration of love from an anonymous admirer Saverio, a handsome young man from an upper-middle-class family, suffers from a nervous disorder that has made him extremely vulnerable and isolated him from the world of human relationships; in fact, the only person in his life is his mother who is overanxious in her desire to make him well.
6. La scuola (1995) – Drama/Comedy
In a grammar school in the outskirts of Rome, it’s the last day of school before the summer holidays. Professor Vivaldi, an Italian literature teacher, before the end bitterly remembers what happened that year and he wonders what will happen to those young students that he cared for as children from their first day of school. But they’ve paid him off in a somewhat offensive way, given that, as the professor has noted, today’s youth are in most cases changed, drifters, and without a sense of civic duty.
5. Amor nello specchio (1999) – Drama
In the 17th century France, a theater troupe is allowed by its patron to go to Paris to produce an erotic play. The head of the troupe dreams of fame while his wife, the leading actress, and a new leading girl fall for each other.
4. Quiet Days in Clichy (1990) – Drama/Erotic
In the twilight of his life, Joey, an old writer, tries to savor the last joys, especially sexual, that life bestows on him. A naked young girl is lying beside him, but she refuses him. The old man then remembers his arrival in Paris in the early 1930s. He relives his meeting with Carl, a photographer, at the bedside of an old dying prostitute, Manouche. The two young people, followers of unbridled hedonism and admirers of Proust, then frequent the Melody, a brothel run by Adrienne. They also participate in the decadent parties of Sebastian, a disciple of Oscar Wilde.
3. My Summer in Provence (2014) – Drama/Romance
Rarely has a movie attempted so unsuccessfully to bridge the generation gap as in Our Summer in Provence (Avis de mistral), a bogus family dramedy where two Parisian teenagers discover the glories of rustic living at the hands of their crotchety grandfather, played by seasoned French star Jean Reno (The Professional, Ronin). This latest effort from writer-director Rose Bosch — whose WWII saga, The Roundup (La Rafle), received a small U.S. release in 2011 — tries awfully hard to be appealing, but is more like a tartine loaded with stereotypes both old and new, then smothered in a thick layer of schmaltz.
2. Question of Luck (1996) – Thriller/Crime
A shady French widow (Anna Galiena) helps an engaged man (Eduardo Noriega) after he finds a corpse in a car with jewels. In Detail, on his way to meet his girlfriend, Julio comes across a car that appears to be abandoned. Upon a closer look, he discovers a dead body and a cache of jewels. He gets rid of the car and body, taking the jewels back to his apartment. When the jewels go missing, Julio confronts his girlfriend Maria, who admits she took them.
1. The Hairdresser’s Husband (1990) – Romance/Drama
Antoine (Jean Rochefort) has always had a thing for beautiful hairstylists. As a young boy, he lusted after the beautician who cut his hair and vowed that one day he’d marry a hairdresser. His quest comes to an end when, as an adult, he meets gorgeous Mathilde (Anna Galiena). Their marriage doesn’t dampen his erotic desire for her. If anything, he becomes even more sexually obsessed with her. In fact, the two rarely leave the hair salon, until the fateful night that Mathilde ventures outside.
