Life and career
Life and career
Born in Rome, as a teenager D'Alatri was active as a stage and film actor and worked with Luchino Visconti, Giorgio Strehler, and Vittorio De Sica among others. In the 1970s he decided to focus on directing and, after a long apprenticeship as a director of commercials, including an award for best AD director at the 1987 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, in 1991 he directed his first feature film, Red American, for which he won the David di Donatello for Best New Director. His next film, No Skin was both a critical and a commercial success, and received a David di Donatello, a Nastro d'Argento and a Ciak d'oro for best screenplay. His 1998 film The Garden of Eden, an apocryphal history of Jesus, was entered into the main competition at the 59th Venice International Film Festival. In his later years D'Alatri mainly focused on television, directing some successful TV-series such as The Bastards of Pizzofalcone and Un professore, both starring Alessandro Gassmann. He also directed several music videos for notable artists such as Elisa, Laura Pausini, Renato Zero, and Negramaro. D'Alatri died on 3 May 2023, at the age of 68.
