Malena (2000)
5/10
The Chronicles of Stalker.
28 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It's impossible to talk about this film without spoilers.

This is one of the most disgusting films I've ever seen. In this film pretty much all men are horny sex addicts, all women are jealous witches. Malena who is a widow, gets attention from every man and woman in town. All men want to have sex with her and all women want to "kill" her, because she 'steals' their husbands (even though she is not). She does nothing wrong, but many women humiliate her and many men rape her. Yet, Malena is put to blame for everything. Later on women even beat her and cut her hair off...

The whole film is shown from the protagonist eyes, who is himself not saint, he is a creepy stalker, yet still morally the purest character in the film. He knows the truth and condemns everyone even avengers Malena on many ocasions but no matter how hard he tries there are too many evil people and he can only watch how they damage Malena. In the end of the film Malena leaves town but years later she returns as a faithful wife (which she always was) and everyone now respects her... Doesn't make any sense, but whatever, I get the idea.

Oh, and don't get me started on boy's father. He at first condemns his son as a pervert and disgrace to the family but later on, he insists and literally brings his boy to a brothel to pays for the services... (I assumed). It felt completely out of character.

This film is a disgrace to humanity, it was extremely unsatisfying to watch, it was disgusting and painful. The only thing I like in it is that it condemns everyone in it, but it does not save the film from its filth.
