Biography of Sergio Rubini

Sergio Rubini, the son of an Apulian station-master, was born in Grumo Appula (province of Bari) in 1959. In 1978 he moved to Rome and enrolled at the Accademia Nazionale d'Arte Drammatica. He left the academy during the second year and began working in the theatre under the direction of Antonio Calenda, Gabriele Lavia, Enzo Siciliano and Ennio Coltorti. He himself adapted two texts by Umberto Marino, "Italia-Germania 4 a 3" (1987) and "Non mi chiamo Ramon e non ho mai organizzato un golpe alle Maracas" (1988).
In the meantime, he had also begun his career as a cinema actor. Chosen by Fellini for the lead role in the film "Federico Fellini's Intervista (Intervista)" (1987), he also gave outstanding performances in "Il grande Blek" (1987) by Giuseppe Piccioni and in "Death To You (Mortacci)" (1989) by Sergio Citti.
In 1990 he made his debut as director with "The Station (La stazione)", an intense film which won a number of prizes and was adapted from the play by Umberto Marino. He went on to direct, less successfully, "The Blonde (La bionda)' (1993), "Prestazione straordinaria" (1994) and "Il viaggio della sposa' (1997), a misguidedly ambitious costume tale.
Once again he reveals his talent as an actor on the big screen, above all in “Ask For The Moon” (Chiedi la luna) (1991), directed by Piccioni; in Giuseppe Tornatore’s “A Pure Formality” (Una pura formalita’) (1994); in Gabriele Salvatores’ “Teeth” (Denti) (2000); and in Piergiorgio Gay’s “The Power Of The Past” (La forza del passato) (2002). Whereas, for Davide Ferrario’s “Children Of Hannibal” (I figli di Annibale) (1998) he is the author of the subject.
In 2000 he directed “All The Love There Is” (Tutto l’amore che c’è) a comedy about the life of a group of young people in a small provincial town in Southern Italy; the sixth feature film, “L’anima gemella” (2003), his most successful film, is a story revolving around the eternal love triangle, set in his beloved Apulia.
