not Think (2007)
Andrea Zanasi with Valerio Mastandrea
The Old New
Stefano Nardini is a rock guitarist who thirty-six years has not yet managed to break through, and when he finds his girlfriend in the apartment of her with another, has no place to go, and is forced to return to his family, who lives hundreds of miles to the north of him . Of course, here you will find that things are Tutt 'nothing but quiet, and try to solve the various problems with his brother, the firm on the verge of disaster, parents, community.
After reading a story like that, anyone would think the usual soup made of personal tragedies, crises of torque (any), and anything else that Italian cinema does not hesitate to give us all the time. On this we will return later. Many critics have even hailed the film, calling it 'a breath of fresh air', or even a novelty, this is justified by the fact that we are not talking about a drama, or copyright, but a good comedy and good (early tragic conclusion quite positive and characters 'classics' as a source of gags the prostitute).
The great virtue of this movie is right here, in an extreme form usable at all levels, from a public to a more refined casual cinephile. Rhythm extremely tight, well-chosen time to perfection (not cheap), very entertaining and after all, never banal, sentimental moments. Then we find actors who are so rarely at ease in a play, never out of tune or out of line, good characterization (if we exclude some sketches, which appear only a few times for good luck): acting, in short, is more than convincing.
no hesitation in saying that this film is one of the best Italian comedies of recent years. Here, however, I question arises: is this an advantage? Now explain: this film, seen by passionate, I left a bitter taste in my mouth. Not for the quality, of course discreet, as seeing him in context: bleak, a part of something Soldini in Italy there is a comedy that is not a pseudo- Moccia or a pseudo-De Sica (with very few exceptions, as Mid-August Lunch), difficult, too, find something compelling in view of the brilliant, if we exclude those art films that some 'of the play have, but you can define this genre.
Now back to the first point, which justifies the speech made so far: the plot is certainly innovative, and unfortunately the wheel following content: all we have seen, already chewed and chewed, the theme of the crisis of the firm, all'abusatissima marital crisis, the protagonist disliked by some because it works out, his friend out of his mind. The director also sought to highlight the problem of art is not recognized as a profession, but I think so, and somewhat forced bankruptcy.
Emblematicon el film is the character of the young politician, who at one point vents his frustration: he wanted to change things, him, but discover that you have no power. The parbola the film: he thought he could change at least something, but it was insufficient.
Rating: 6 / 10
PS: this review seems a harsh criticism, because I gave too much emphasis on subtle defects, and elements that soon became interested the average audience. Even for this vote seems perhaps too high. Next time I'll try to be more balanced.
