Un altro ferragosto, directed by Paolo Virzì, brings the Mazzalupi and Molino families back to the screen, 28 years after their last appearance, now reunited on the island of Ventotene. Through nostalgia, unresolved conflicts, and reflections on Italy's recent history, the film delivers a clever ensemble comedy that blends lighthearted moments with deeper insights.
Featuring a stellar cast including Silvio Orlando, Sabrina Ferilli, and Christian De Sica, each actor shines in portraying complex characters that make you laugh, think, and even shed a tear. Virzì, alongside co-writers Carlo Virzì and Francesco Bruni, skillfully tackles themes such as social changes, political contradictions, and family dynamics with a mix of humor and melancholy.
The picturesque setting of Ventotene serves as the perfect microcosm for a clash of ideologies, where radicals, influencers, and nostalgics face off in an entertaining yet thought-provoking way. While the pacing falters in a few moments, and the tone occasionally veers into overly explanatory territory, the film maintains its charm thanks to sharp dialogue and outstanding performances.
Un altro ferragosto is more than a seaside holiday-it's a journey through time that invites viewers to reckon with the mistakes and failures of the past. Despite its imperfections, it leaves a lasting impression.
7/10 - a heartfelt and engaging reunion that captures the essence of Italian cinema.
