Alaska

This is a beautifully written, directed and acted romantic film. I'm surprised by the relatively little critics recognition. Yes it is, at times, over dramatised and not particularly original but it is over all fully enjoyable. In my opinion the quality of this film is mainly due to the sensational and charismatic Elio Germano. Reminiscent of a young Taxi Driver Robert De Niro, he is one of the best European actors of this generation.

This movie made me fall in love. Its shows what I believe is love, not perfect, not immediate. But its about funding each other again and again when the circumstances are okey. This movie shows time is not a factor and that true love does not need to follow the standards. I correct myself, this movie made me realize im in love. Thank you, whatch it. Super underrated. Sorry for the cheesy review, im in love

This movie has an slow story that bring us about the things that we have to achieve our happiness. Our life will face good and bad moments. We can find in Fausto (Elio Germano) and the pretty Nadine (Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey) a couple that has a lot of problems trying to deal with each of the attitudes that they have. In every moment of the story, they are placed in different situations, none will find happiness, success or stability at the same time, so they have to face every moment. Trust and support is the problem for this couple. This Italian-french production will teach somethings that will improve our lives around our friends, family, Enjoy it!

However, the fascinating film does not start and the audience may even think that they are facing a boring movie but gradually the film disappears in you. This movie taught me that life is really like a carousel. Sometimes you are at the peak so you have to have fun and sometimes you are falling so you have to manage it. This movie is really about love. The actors in the film are very capable and the director's special style is clearly evident in the film. Alaska is a very good movie that is definitely worth watching

I'm not exactly sure what it is about this film that I like so much but It absolutely captured me and made me fall in love with both characters as much as they do with each other.

At first there was something somewhat unbelievable about their interaction but as the film goes on the magic of this connection is revealed through a tense story that takes us from Paris to Milan.

The acting, direction, production, and writing is brilliant and I think it truly succeeds in achieving that balance of thought, emotion, and entertainment that makes for good cinema.

This is probably one of those films I'll watch at least once a year. If you're into the style and genre, passing on it would be an injustice.
