Italian term

da cui è nato il regista

Italian to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting da cui è nato il regista
Entrambi gli spettacoli esprimono un discorso generazionale, un originale rapporto col mondo, un punto di vista sull’attualità di un giovane da cui è nato il regista.

About 2 plays by actor, director and playwright Fabrice Murgia.

I'm not sure I understand how the phrase in the object box connects with and relates to what goes before.

Thanks,

Peter

Yes, that's what I was thinking, too. Didn't want to offer my translation in order not to colour the suggestions! Thanks Crocox

In my opinion the former young man having a point of view ... transformed into (gave birth to) the director. Otherwise a comma is necessary after 'giovane'.

who was to (eventually) become the director

This is how I see it. And I would use "perspective" or "observations" to convey "punto di vista". I think that "sull’attualità" suggests the real events that he lived through, or viewed as he was growing up.

"...a perspective on life seen through (the eyes of) a young boy who was to (eventually) become the director."
or
"...the observations of life from a young boy, who was to eventually become the director."
