Question: Are the directors of both films Lucignolo and My Own Private Idaho from the same country?

<P0-S0> Massimo Ceccherini( born 23 May 1965) is an Italian actor, film director and comedian. <SEP> <P1-S0> I Want Your <P1-S1> Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film. <P1-S2> Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews. <P1-S3> The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons. <P1-S4> The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes. <P1-S5> The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword. <P1-S6> This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively. <SEP> <P2-S0> My Own Private River is a re-contextualized adventure drama film of "My Own Private Idaho" (1991). <P2-S1> Using footage shot and directed by Gus Van Sant in 1990, the new edit gives James Franco and Van Sant a shared director credit. <P2-S2> The project is in tribute to Franco's favorite actor, River Phoenix. <P2-S3> Franco called Idaho one of his favorite movies and praised River's performance as the actor's best. <P2-S4> "My Own Private River" had its premieres at the Hollywood Theatre on September 25, 2011, at the Walter Reade Theater on February 19, 2012 and at the Film Society of Lincoln Center on February 24, 2012. <SEP> <P3-S0> Lucignolo is a 1999 Italian movie directed by and starring Massimo Ceccherini, with the inseparable Alessandro Paci and Claudia Gerini. <SEP> <P4-S0> Gus Green Van Sant Jr. (born July 24, 1952) is an American film director, screenwriter, painter, photographer, musician, and author who has earned acclaim as both an independent and mainstream filmmaker. <P4-S1> His films typically deal with themes of marginalized subcultures, in particular homosexuality; as such, Van Sant is considered one of the most prominent auteurs of the New Queer Cinema movement. <P4-S2> Van Sant's early career was devoted to directing television commercials in the Pacific Northwest. <P4-S3> He made his feature-length cinematic directorial debut with "Mala Noche" (1985). <P4-S4> His second feature "Drugstore Cowboy" (1989) was highly acclaimed, and earned Van Sant screenwriting awards from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and New York Film Critics Circle and the award for Best Director from the National Society of Film Critics. <P4-S5> His following film, "My Own Private Idaho" (1991), was similarly praised, as was the black comedy "To Die For" (1995), the drama "Good Will Hunting" (1997), and the biographical film "Milk" (2008); for the latter two, Van Sant was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director and both films received Best Picture nominations. <P4-S6> In 2003, Van Sant's film about the Columbine High School massacre, "Elephant", won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. <P4-S7> Van Sant also received the festival's Best Director Award that same year, making him one of only two filmmakers—the other being Joel Coen—to win both accolades at the festival in the same year. <P4-S8> Though most of Van Sant's other films received favourable reviews, such as "Finding Forrester" (2000) and "Paranoid Park" (2007), some of his efforts, such as the art house production "Last Days" (2005) and the environmental drama "Promised Land" (2012), have received more mixed reviews from critics, while his adaptation of Tom Robbins's "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" (1994), his 1998 remake of Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho", and "The Sea of Trees" (2015), were critical and commercial failures. <P4-S9> In addition to directing, Van Sant has written the screenplays for several of his earlier works, and is the author of a novel entitled "Pink". <P4-S10> A book of his photography, called "108 Portraits", has also been published, and he has released two musical albums. <P4-S11> He is openly gay and currently lives in Los Feliz, California. <SEP> <P5-S0> My Own Private Idaho is a 1991 American independent adventure drama film written and directed by Gus Van Sant, loosely based on Shakespeare's" Henry IV, Part 1 Henry IV, Part 2", and" Henry V", and starring River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves. <P5-S1> The story follows two friends, Mike and Scott, as they embark on a journey of personal discovery that takes them from Portland, Oregon to Mike's hometown in Idaho, and then to Rome in search of Mike's mother. <P5-S2> Van Sant originally wrote the screenplay in the 1970s, but discarded it after reading John Rechy's 1963 novel" City of Night" and concluding that Rechy's treatment of the subject of street hustlers was better than his own. <P5-S3> Over the years, Van Sant rewrote the script, which comprised two stories: that of Mike and the search for his mother, and Scott's story as a modern update of the" Henry IV" plays. <P5-S4> Van Sant had difficulty getting Hollywood financing, and at one point considered making the film on a minuscule budget with a cast of actual street kids. <P5-S5> After he sent copies of his script to Reeves, and Reeves then showed it to Phoenix, both agreed to star in the film on each other's behalf. <P5-S6> " My Own Private Idaho" had its premiere at the 48th Venice International Film Festival, and received largely positive reviews from critics including Roger Ebert and those of" The New York Times" and" Entertainment Weekly". <P5-S7> The film was a moderate financial success, grossing over$ 6.4 million in North America, above its estimated budget of$ 2.5 million. <P5-S8> Phoenix received several awards for his performance in the film, including the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the 1991 Venice Film Festival, Best Male Lead from the Independent Spirit Awards, and Best Actor from the National Society of Film Critics. <P5-S9> " My Own Private Idaho" is considered a landmark film in the New Queer Cinema movement, an early 1990s movement in queer- themed independent filmmaking. <P5-S10> Since its 1991 release, the film has grown in popularity and been deemed as a cult classic, especially among LGBT audiences. <P5-S11> The film is notable for its then- taboo subject matter and avant- garde style.
