Mysteries of Italian cinema. The beautiful people
Mysteries of Italian cinema. There's a movie, the second film of Ivano De Matteo . It's called the beautiful people . He won the Annecy Festival, part the last festival in Turin, is appreciated far and wide across the world. And above all, not even a "small" film, because it boasts a cast of actors from the first floor as Antonio Catania, Monica Guerritore, Elio Germano, Iaia Forte. Yet. Yet it has a distribution. This means that to view it in the room (or DVD) we will have to wait. What then is worthwhile asking this question, given the myopia of a system - like the middle class - is based on hypocrisy and false trends.
The beautiful people is the story Alfredo and Susan. Alfredo is an architect, a psychologist Susan. Middle-class people and progressive, youthful-looking fifty, the ready wit and an intelligent look. They live in Rome but spent the weekend of the summer in their cottage in a private estate. One day Susan, going in the country, are struck by a young prostitute who is humiliated and beaten by a man on the street that leads to a main road. He decided to save that girl. That gesture will change life forever. It will upset the balance of his family.
Produced by X Film, presented at the Turin Film Festival and won the Grand Prix Italian Film Festival of Annecy, beautiful people The second is the work of Ivano De Matteo, a past in theater workshops, short films, documentaries and important roles as an actor. Written by Valentina Ferlan, shot in four weeks with a small budget (450,000 euros) and acted by an exceptional cast (Monica Guerritore, Antonio Catania, Elio Germano, Iaia Forte, Giorgio Gobbi, Victoria Larchenko, Myriam Catania), the film De Matthew is a work that can disrupt and disturb. Behind the simple linearity of the subject, runs a 'progression from psychological thriller, "a ferocity in the sketch people as" normal "to be abnormal. A reflection acute sharp and fierce solidarity, indifference, on '(in) existence of divisions and classes.
Hypocrisy reigns supreme in some bourgeois circles, the same as De Matteo said: "The hypocrisy is like cholesterol, there is that good and the bad. There's the hypocrisy that serves to move forward, maybe not to be offensive, and the bad, the politically correct. " The protagonists of his film this weak boundary crossing: they believe they have a certain personality, certain ideals, certain life projects. Instead wrecked in the disorder and chaos when the unexpected occurs. Diversions that lead to be other than itself and produce an exacerbated individualism, carried to extremes in the bitter end.
no concessions whatsoever to the rhetoric or didacticism, De Matteo is not pointing the finger. Rather indicates a direction, (de) composing a fresco of the Italian society, including false appearances, feelings of hypocrisy, slavery conventions. The abyss into which the characters sink is inversely proportional to the rhythm that gives it direction. Realistic angle and urgent to enact a piece of land collapsed complacency and nell'ingordigia, matter and feelings. Why "It is difficult to understand how to act when the person who starts taking the time." The end of a dream of a tear, a wry smile and a door that closes, relive the best of Italian comedy.
