Oscar winning American actress
Jennifer Lawrence has redefined the concept of modern
femininity, Isabella Rossellini told ANSA on Tuesday.
The two divas co-star in David O. Russell's 2015 drama Joy,
opening in Italian movie theaters on January 28.
"Her strength and her independence make me think of my
mother," Rossellini said.
"She redefined the concept of modern femininity, a bit like
Marlon Brando did with masculinity," said the daughter of
Swedish actress Ingmar Bergman and Italian director Roberto
Rossellini.
Lawrence, who at the age of 25 has already won one Academy
Award and three Golden Globes, plays the title role in the 2015
American semi-biographical drama loosely based on Joy Mangano, a
self-made millionaire who created her own business empire.
Mangano was a divorced mother of three in the early 1990s
when she invented the Miracle Mop and became an overnight
success.
Rossellini plays Trudy, the new girlfriend of Joy's dad
played by Robert De Niro, who takes Joy under her wing and
agrees to finance her business venture.
