Lallo Circosta What The Time It Takes Is About
The Time It Takes, known in Italian as Il tempo che ci vuole, is director Francesca Comencini's autobiographical film adapted directly from her own life: as a young woman she struggled with drug addiction, and her famous director father Luigi Comencini refused to leave her side, taking her to Paris and staying with her day and night to help her through withdrawal. Comencini has described the film as an open love letter to her father. It premiered out of competition at the 81st Venice Film Festival, grossed over a million euros in Italy, and won five prizes at the 2025 Nastri d'Argento awards, including Best Film, Best Actress for Romana Maggiora Vergano, and Best Actor for Fabrizio Gifuni. Who it's for: anyone curious about a director's autobiographical tribute to the father who actually saved her life. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a fictional, distanced father daughter story, since this is drawn from a real act of rescue.
