We have been waiting for Tornatore for years. But it was worthy, if this is the result! After Malena, he is returning to the highest levels of his carrier. Few movies, but most of them are unforgettable pearls! In this one, nothing is out of place and all the actors are playing at their best, with various original stories all perfectly interlacing: everything put together, this is one of the best movies ever directed by Tornatore!! Michele Placido is heavily representing the evil in this story, playing one of his most ambiguous, scaring and demonic characters of his long carrier. But everyone is completely believable in their roles and the suspense of the plot keeps you constantly concentrated until the end.
Very well-done example of Italian movie! I appreciated the quite unusual plot, the various typical characters and the good performances of the actors. Above all the director Sergio Rubini keeps for himself the intolerable figure of a dirty, rotten and slippery loan shark. And Bentivoglio is perfect as usual with his tired face of the man who has already seen them all... The bad unchanging habits of a southern Italian village are balanced by the warmly beating hearts of these four different brothers, all partially crazy for the way they react to the negative aspects of the society in which they are forced to live. A strong suggestion to have a look!!!
