Review of Amnèsia

Amnèsia (2002)
8/10
Amnèsia is a metaphor of society: appear and entertain ourselves is the only way to escape from reality...

Salvatores makes a sort of "Pulp Fiction"'s story, where comedy and drama are linked together, with a fragmented narrative structure and the same story analyzed from two different points of view. The setting of the movie is an hypnotic Ibiza, with discotheques, clubs, coffee shops and bordellos; the principal theme is the eternal conflict between fathers (D. Abatantuono - J. Puigcorbè) and sons (M. Stella - R. Ochandiano): these stories are mixed with sex scandals and drugs problems. Interesting are the technical aspects: when the two stories are going to mix, Salvatores starting to use the "split screen", ending only when all the characters are together. A good movie, also because is uncommon and different from other Italian productions.

P.s.: sorry for my incorrect English!
