Is A Male Brizlian Wax The Same As A Females

The Beauty of Donkey

La Bellezza del Somaro
Italia, 2010
regia: Sergio Castellitto








Qualche risata me la sono fatta. Quando alla scena dello schiaffo, gli scurrili gemelli due file avanti a me, hanno gridato all'unisono - "Si, così impara sta sgallettata!" - qualche risata me la sono fatta. La coppia Mazzantini (scrittrice) and Castellitto (actor / director) back on stage after the success of Do not Move (2004), with no repeat. Still, some have made me laugh. When Christmas is once again the formula of the film Parenti Serpenti , alchemy comedy always works. And the themes of the so-called "new" Italian cinema: the generational confrontation, the social crisis, the encounter with the Other and love, love, love. Some have made me laugh anyway, peppered with references to Lacanian psychoanalysis that ( anticipating your comment ) affected only me and a handful of post-structuralist fanatics of the Great Other.
is, in short, what is works in this film? - Not working shape. Example: Choose PIMP. of 50 Cents as a soundtrack to match the scenes of confrontation of generations (which obviously shows the black boy, just to subsidize the good old stereotype of "the hippopparo nigga"). Well, as you know, 50 Cents Only is in no way a pop star's reference pseudo-leftist culture that is associated with the young star of the film, but the song in question dates back to 2003 ... eight years ago! It is certainly not an expert in sociology to know that now the generations and trends related change every 2-3 years and that the choice of a soundtrack like that shows a failed upgrade of the authors with codes that generation called "digital born" (born under the sign of the digital). But some have made me laugh the same: Scazzi family, the pungent wisdom senile, the sexy Italian-gag. A microcosm of caricatures rather sketchy Berlusconi of Italy, in a rustic setting reminiscent of Stealing Beauty Bertolucci (without the naive sensuality Liv Tayler alas). Isomma, a film whose motto reminds Luttazzi - "Italy is a country of assholes: I know because I'm one of them" - there will be whining out of our cinema because it is not formally credible. But the few laughs I've made.

I leave the room puzzled why everyone laughs at the scene of the pie in the face and no one to joke about Bergman's The Seventh Seal? It 's true I am becoming a sociopath arthouse and nobody has the courage to tell me. But maybe it's better that way, like Nanni Moretti said, I will always feel comfortable in minoranze.Poi, dangling from a lamppost and the other, we go home, hand in hand.
