what a masterpiece!

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This is one of the best movies I saw in my life. Where's the space for such directors, writers, actors? Movies like this are an accuse to the Italian cinema industry! It deserves 6 months out in cinemas and almost no one saw it. Meanwhile the Italian culture is definitely sinking under the weight of tons of real trash, Raoul Bova and Giovanni Martorana gave us the demonstration that that talent is not sinking. The ability to go into a dialect, the study of a foreign pronounce are the demonstrations of what is the real acting. Still Italians laugh like the were pissing watching horrible trash movies and are not able to evaluate real masterpieces. Thanks to the producers! To the governments, to distributors.
