Firth goes back to basics + video
Colin Firth went back to basics while filming his new movie Genova with director Michael Winterbottom.
The prolific British filmmaker is known for his unorthodox working methods, including the use of handheld cameras and improvised dialogue.
Firth plays an English father who moves his two American daughters to Italy following the death of their mother.
The actor said: “This was the basics. This had no lights, no crew to speak of, no security, no background people – just us.
“He (Winterbottom) never says: ‘Action’. He never says: ‘Cut’. He just keeps going.
“There is a script but if you finish the dialogue it’s up to you what you do after that.”
In this article source you can find a very cool video with colin in which he talks about his Genova movie! So click here to watch the video!

Keener ‘has a crush on Colin Firth’
Catherine Keener has admitted to having a crush on fellow actor Colin Firth before she was aware of his heartthrob status.
Keener and Firth appeared together in Michael Winterbottom’s 2008 movie Genova.
Keener told The Guardian: “He’s very honest, especially if you say something idiotic, which I do a lot. He’ll just look at me like, ‘Twerp’. I found him hysterically funny.
“I have the biggest crush on him, then I found out everyone else does, too, because of his Mr Darcy, which I’d never seen. I realised I didn’t discover this new sex bomb at all.
“And his wife – she’s even hotter than Colin!”
