Nothing New Coming From Italy, 5 April 2008
3/10
Author: hollyfairbanks-usa from Los Angeles, CA

I used to love Italian films but lately they all seem to deal with the same issues in more or less the same ways. Trying to be politically relevant and forgetting what cinemas is all about. This tired tale of politics and family got me fidgeting on my seat after only a few minutes. I'm sure there were enough elements here for a satire of sorts or even better a heavy duty family drama but the film delivers neither. Elio Germano is a good actor and Riccardo Scamarcio has a good face but their characters are half cooked at best. The most climatic moment happens off camera and my frustration became audible in the theater. If I had known I would have stayed home to watch again an Elio Petri movie.
