User Reviews

This film is wonderful. Better Italian film, of last the 20 years.why Italy is enemy of Fragasso?

This film is wonderful. A piece of great cinema, worthy to be today in the history, I know that a classic in Italy is considered and have reason. C' it is the comedy, the drama, l' action, the denunciation against the Mafia and the institutions corrupts, the feelings of the personages, the relationships between father and adolescent daughter, a love only thought and never bloomed between the daughter of the young sorry and of the policemen. In the history, it comes told and described, also the precarious job and the poverty of means, of the Italian police. The human relationships between the policemen, introduced like persons, and not like policemen. Others of their age are young equal to many, than but they do not wear an uniform. The from strong emotion that they are tried, during the race in machine, in along travel, meant like life increase, a travel will always change that them in order. Optimal direction, I love Fragasso, for the scene of the public square, where it catches up the levels of " Rome city open" for intensity and the end that I will not say in order not to reveal nothing. A perfect script and sage. It converses deep and touching, like that one on the dialog of "tuna died", splendidly recited from Giancarlo Giannini, indeed intelligent, then, to break off the d.c. voltage of the film, with struck much funny, between the two policemen, in roman regional language. I adore Tarcisio (Valerio Mastandrea) Assisting to the film, has the feeling to be with to they, within blots some to them of the police. I have loved quickly this film, are beautiful also the extras of the DVD and its continuation that council " Milan Palermo the Ritorno" received very well to the festival of Los Angeles, like law in the messages on IMDb.com. Bravo Fragasso, little means and great ability, goodness knows if in America know that a its film costs less than cent of theirs? (one milliard of old lira 1995) Bravo to Rossella Drudi for the pen d' gold and l' originality d' ideas. Bravo to all the cast, every character is right in its space. Musics of Donaggio Pine, are involved melting itself in the scenes. To see
