User Review

sadly realistic

Rating: 7/10

It is hard not to feel rather sad after watching this movie, which
stands out for the strong realism of both situations and characters.
Realism is to be perceived in the difficulty of ordinary people having
to live on precarious jobs, people for whom love and even more
unfaithfulness seems a luxury, not so easy to afford. The movie
reminded me of a French movie I have seen recently, "Partir", where a
story of unfaithfulness and betrayal is one between a well-off but
disappointed middle-age wife and a former convict. Different settings,
different conditions, different endings, but same sadness. And the
consciousness that whichever opinion one may have about betrayal, what
is certain is that it's a dangerous means of self-destruction, mainly
for women, those who lose more and find it difficult to start
everything anew. The passionate love encounters between Anna and
Domenico are marked by such intensity, preluding to an equally strong
final sense of void and anguish. One may judge or not both characters,
but some questions arise: why choosing to destroy oneself and one's
family so easily? Why and what for do men and women hurt themselves?
Probably unsolved questions, part of the mystery of human nature. Good,
well focused and believable interpretations are delivered by
Pierfrancesco Favino and Alba Rohrwacher, supported by a wise
direction, which lets the viewer see the bare crudity of some human
relations, together with the sometimes incomprehensible nature of human
behaviour.
