If this movie has low rate it is not because of politically correct: i believe that anyone who deliberately watched this movie was expecting to laugh at disabilities, and all the stuff, me included.

The problem with this movie is that it is a bad movie: flat, repetitive, with little evolution and no intent into exploring any side of the story.

One can say that the fact that the protagonist has no change in his behaviour is actually a good thing because it is out of the cliché, and in a way it is so, but all in all the whole movie is a sequence of almost flat gags where Duro shows no emotion and treat people harshly.

It is ok for a sketch but way too little to make a believable movie.

2 hours and an half of visuals, slow scenes, pretentious/vague dialogues, people smoking to appear smart.

Parthenope is Naples: a young, beautiful woman who flirts with people but rarely sleeps with anyone.

One could make countless hours of metaphors about a woman and a big city, and they will all be true and vague. The watcher should simply take the mission to sit down and watch the "mistery" of life, death, love, miracles, whatever being displayed in that long, neverending scenes.

Oh, and football. Because Naples is also football! Maradona! 'o pallone! 'o scudetto!

Sorrenti', bello r'o frate.. appicciati 'no cuoppo..

Then happens nothing. This movie is all about building tension for something about to happen, but in the middle of the story you start to understand that nothing is going to actually happen, other than good photograhy, good cinematics, good acting and good music.

So this is a review about nothing, and nothing is what i will tell about this movie about nothing.

If you liked Midsommar, you will feel at home but You have already seen the good version of this movie, so You can skip to' the next without having lost anything. Do yourself a favour and save 100 minutes for something better to be seen.
