a fascinating film
22 March 2001
If you love, as I do, Mimmo Calopresti and his soft french touch, you will like this film, where unhappy people train their mal de vivre, attempting to be convinced that this is the real life. A bored adolescent unable to find a reason to live; a wealthy father who is not able to speak with him; a rebel southern boy who cannot understand the cold and useless people in a northern town without the sea; an intelligent priest... When this people meet, something will change for all them: not dramatic changes but small substantial changes... Perhaps their life will no more be the same, perhaps they will find the strength to struggle, not simply to accept. This is not pedantically shown: you FEEL it in yourself while you see the film, and after too.
