Musica per vecchi animali (1989)
peripheral heroes in action
As it often happens, some very nice films are completely avoided and hated from the television. You can be lucky to see one of these but usually you will loose them. "Musica per vecchi animali" is one of these. In an Italian town, Bologna, and in an unknown future, three people (a child, a young man and an old man) decide for different reason and at different times to cross the city during a critical day. There is a strange emergency, there is democracy but no one is free and the city is invaded by military and police. They meet each other during the travel and decide to continue together: they will have to experience a lot of difficulties. In a reality where all seems to be controlled from a small group of rich but unhappy people, each of them will help the other to survive until the arrival to the foreseen destination. The film sometimes seems to be an incomplete creature, but the presence of exhilarating situations in a pessimistic background scenario make this film irresistible.
Il tuffo (1993)
nice film
Very nice film. It suggest us that life provides a lot of possibilities but on the other hand every thing left is forever lost. And this is what happens to the 30years old Matteo that cannot anymore experience what he hasn't done when he was 17. Sweet and cruel at the same time but without any too romantic or violent situation and without any nostalgia. It's a story of feelings between young people in an Italian town very difficult to be recognized. Feelings are viewed through the law of physics: the magnetic field theory is the "technical" explanation of the phenomenon of falling in love and it comes in the most important moment of all the story. Very nice also the open end that doesn't tell us which will be the future of Elsa and Giulio. In Italian television is shown once a year during an August midnight, so is very difficult to see.
