Cinderella is not the cat, Cinderella is Naples
28 February 2024
I felt wonder and amazement from the first frame to the last. Comic, poignant, dreamlike, circular animated film that creates simultaneity in some moments between the present, the future and the past. It is as beautiful as an oyster raised in the South: the outer shell is tough and irregular, the meat is good and has a shining pearl inside. The original story is taken from a famous theatrical work by Roberto De Simone, adapted here to social forms and current language, both visual and musical, respecting the original language, Neapolitan, which can be simple, musical, poetic and raw at the same time. And Naples, not photographic, not idealized but always of a poignant beauty. Cinderella doesn't look for the prince, she doesn't look for riches but she asks to grow well, to find her little shoe and move forward.
