A film inside a film, 24 October 2004
8/10
Author: michelerealini from Switzerland

For "la vita che vorrei" we have the same team of "Luce dei miei occhi": director Giuseppe Piccioni and actors Luigi Lo Cascio and Sandra Ceccarelli. Lo Cascio and Ceccarelli play two actors in this film!; the two meet during a shooting and start a romance. It is a film inside a film, because the scenes they're making for their movie coincidentally reflect the relationship they have in "real" life. Their job and the situations they're playing are a mirror of their private life...

I think Piccioni chooses an original way of telling a love story, not a classical way of doing a love film! The film is a continuous game between what actors express during their job and their social life. Piccioni shows us how a relationship goes on, without prejudices and without "honey".

That's original, the film talks about cinema as well... We can say that "La vita che vorrei" reminds us of François Truffaut's "La nuit américaine". Bravo Piccioni, bravo Lo Cascio & Ceccarelli!
