“His Mother’s House” - « La Maison de sa Mère
», the new film project by German writer-director André Schneider (who also
authored “Die Feuerblume”), will be both, a homage and a vehicle for Marisa
Mell. The late actress, who died in 1992, will “play” a key role in this drama
about a man’s search for his roots.
“His Mother’s House” follows the journey of
Anam Wagner, a man in his thirties. Professionally successful and single, he
leads a rather carefree life. He and his younger brother have a very close relationship,
and once in a while he visits his embittered father. One day, he receives a
phone call informing him that his mother had died. Even though he had hardly
seen her in years and thought he had no connection with her whatsoever, Anam
feels oddly shaken and drives up to the sea where his mother had owned a beach
house. And while he still thinks that he didn’t know his mother at all, he
finds traces of her – and his own childhood – everywhere in that old house…
Needless to say who the estranged mother is!
“His Mother’s House” is all about a woman who had left her husband and her two
sons to pursue a B-movie career and paid a huge prize for her success. Marisa
Mell’s photos by Angelo Frontoni will be seen throughout the film as well as
scenes from “Senza via d’Uscità”, “Nel Buio del Terrore”, “Pena de Muerte”, “La
Encadenada”, and “Una Sull’Altra”. Original scores by Carlo Savina and Riz
Ortolani will also be part of this movie.
Pre-production has already begun. As soon as
the funding has been successful, cameras will start rolling – hopefully in
early 2015, around Marisa Mell’s birthday.

Vivàsvan Pictures is still looking for sponsors and donors. About 8.000 euros
