did anyone see the film?
I just did
It didn't disappoint me, anyway I consider the first part better than the second one. Maybe it can be appreciated just by a "red" audience. it's very "cerebral", even if the emotional look often shows itself
I just did it, too.
But I'm not agree with you...
I think it's not a film too "red", as you said. (It was only a presentation of facts that really happened)
And also, in my opinion, Nanni menaged to make it very fluent.
I expected a different kind of film: more political, more "cerebral", and more boring...
Besides, for me, wasn't too political: I hope, for april 9-10, "Il Caimano" will open Italians eyes, in a way.
Well done Nanni!!!! :-)
I opened this topic because the other ones seemed to be written by people who didn't see the film at all. just need to talk, talk talk...unuseful
I didn't mean "red" in a strictly political way..."red" is a state of mind, a way of thinking, with most ancient origins than this political situation and these (next) political election in italy. I found the film "celebral" (not too much, of course, not complicated) because it seems to be structured very carefully, it's composed by some inner plots which don't "mix" confunding themselves, but they "collide" with each other achieving strenght.
anyway, I liked it. I'm not so convinced by the most "private" and sentimental aspect
In a way, me too... I think this part of the movie (the "private" and sentimental part) was a bit neglected by Moretti. I mean: In the previous movies Nanni had centred the plot on private life. In this case instead, although the time dedicated to that was more than I expected, it passed in background compared with political aspect. That was my impression...
What do you think?
I think that in the second part of the movie Moretti forgot a bit about the Berlusconi issue, and concentrated on the private life and the struggles of the main charachter, and, in part, of the others (the director, for instance).
There are a few scenes that should have been cut or shortened (it goes on too long), but overall, even this part is quite strong, I think, and emotionally quite devastating, without being stupid. Moretti has a very sensitive and knowing approach, and, this time, occasionally linked that with some strong aesthetic and formal elements (the scene during the classical concert, the scene with the ship, the scene in the set of the Columbus movie). This is one of his most "cinematographic" movies.
Then, at the end, going back to the Berlusconi thing, there are still interesting formal elements: the music is threatening and epic (I might be raving, but it reminds of John Williams's music for Star Wars, during Darth Vader's appearances and things like that), and Moretti resumed his portrait of the terribile, hateble politician of Luchetti's "Il Portaborse" (in which he starred) acting in the role of S.B.
All the things Moretti says in the final sequences are real quotes from Berlusconi's speeches and interviews. This is the person who ruled Italy during the last five years. And hopefully he will not have the chance again.
Oh, and the beginning of the movie is quite funny.
