Crimini: La doppia vita di Natalia Blum (2009)
Very engaging and credible story
I watched this on Showtime, and I was a little disappointed to see that this TV-production was without reviews. I have seen some of the modern Italian TV-crimes the last years, and I always feel comfortable that this is never going to be a waste of time.
They never have a bad plot, the location is always well presented and the acting is never bad.
What makes this one so special that I want to give it a review ? Well, first of all the story. It constantly confronts you with your own reflections, on how to act and think in the situation the publisher gradually experiences. For my part, I felt it very credible that I would have followed his trail. This way, you might almost feel you are part of the whole story.
Anita Caprioli is from her first appearance, a lady you wouldn't ignore. She is able to hypnotize both through eyes and voice.
Also credit to Negri, Carofiglio and Napolitano.
Highly recommended !
Indiscreet (1998)
Absolutely fantastic movie !!
As a veteran in watching thrillers I didn't expect much from this. To my surprise the film was absolutely a very positive surprise ! The plot, the actors, the music all caught my attention in short time. I would recommend this movie as highly as most "classics" with plots like this. I watched it at the channel "Showtime" and I am surprised about the high quality of the films this channel provides. The fact that the actors are unknown to me has no influence in my rating. As a matter of fact I think the actors are doing such a good performance, that I think it's just an advantage that the more famous actors doesn't appear.
I recommend this film and have given it the vote 9 of 10.
