Bravo, 8 October 2006
Author: marcello-38 from United States

Another great film by the Maestro. The only disappointment was not seeing Enrico Lo Verso in this role. Yes, Sergio is a good actor, yes, Kim Rossi-Stuart is a good actor but they are not Enrico Lo Verso when it comes to Gianni Amelio directing. Lo Verso seems to be the only current male actor who is completely at ease with this director. Amelio and Lo Verso bring out such subtle brilliance in each other, keeping secrets, unanswered questions and unspoken agreements are their specialty. I'm sure that Amelio and Lo Verso are tired of hearing this but it is a fact of reality. Together they make masterpieces. I'm seeing too much Sergio right now and I can't tell the difference in character from one film to another. Kim is a brilliant actor but in "Le Chiavi DI Casa" he seemed to be distracted by something.
