Audience Member Ozpetek con lo spaccato di una compagnia di disadattati, di atipici personaggi che si ritrovano a formare una famiglia, e ad accogliere tra di loro anche la protagonista che li trova mentre vaga alla ricerca dell'amante del defunto marito. C'è la normalità nei gesti e nelle giornate che passano e che fa da contraltare alla peculiarità esagerata di quasi tutti i personaggi che passano davanti allo schermo. Il risultato è una sceneggiatura che racconta con classe una storia tanto atipica quanto credibile nel suo svolgimento e nei suoi dialoghi. Fa da padrona la coppia Buy - Accorsi in un ottimo mix tra sfuriate e sensualità, amicizia ed amore. Alcuni personaggi vengono un po' tralasciati e fungono solo da sfondo. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A parte la locandina americana che ricorda tanto un film porno gay di bassa lega, il film è interessante quanto a trama, anche se la parte con Gabriel Garko e la sottotrama dell'aids l'ho trovata non molto integrata con il resto. Ozpetek come regista non sembra riuscire a dare un qualcosa in più al film, se non la rappresentazione molto veritiera e poco stereotipata del mondo LGBT. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A widow and her husband's lover of 7 years meet. What happens later is a wild and bumpy ride. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ozpetek è la versione italo turca di serie B di Almodovar. Le storie non sono troppo banali ma vi è sempre qualcosa di banale nel raccontarle. Già visto. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The symbolism is overt to the ending shot, but that doesn't mean the film is bad; in fact, the film is quite good. I had one technical critique about the film and that is it seems the entire film was shot on the same lens. Every shot goes out of focus in the background save two or three. The sets are lavish and well lit so I am confused as to why such an artistic approach was brought to the film. It works quite well, but the framing seems to indicate that the director sees the love between same-gendered couples as shallow in opposition to what he's trying to convey, which is the contrary. After watching it a few more times, I may understand the meaning behind this, but it seems lazy to shoot an entire film with one or two lenses. Other than that, I loved the lighting, the story, the camera blocking, and the performances. Many things I miss because I don't speak Italian, granted, but I guess my only other complaint or critique would be that there's such a deep rooted respect among the entire group but outright nobody treats anyone else with respect. That seemed strange to me, but I don't know the culture or the language, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt that I'm missing something in context. I did love the dialogue between the main characters, however. It was very refreshing and . . . real. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Muy buena, excelente película de Ozpetek!! No se dejen llevar por ese burdo cartel!
