    Fresh, witty, entertaining
    The Repairman is a fresh, entertaining, original movie.

    It's a debut feature (for which I'm being a little bit generous in vote!), but very refined, with a super nice cinematography (by David Rom, a really promising talent) and a very sensitive, delicate touch.

    First of all, it's funny and entertaining - a few big laughs, and a lot of giggling scenes; but it's also touching and the characters have the required depth to get attached to them.

    The northern-Italian setting come with a lot of local culture and character, and it's an interesting part for itself - and some locations are beautiful; for an Italian leaving abroad, as I am, it comes with a somehow nostalgic feeling: but it's probably even more interesting for not- Italians, to discover an often unknown area (yes, each Italian region comes with a lot of peculiarities!)

    There also are a real story and some deeper themes, of course; but the whole movie is told with no judgment, a sort of light detachment that let the viewer make his own opinion, helped by a rhythm fast enough to keep the story interesting, yet slow enough to let her (the spectator) explore the details, rather than rushing through it as if only the end had a meaning, and only sudden events and crazy surprises could keep a watcher interested.

    The acting is just and authentic and intense, too, and successfully bring to believable life characters real and three dimensional, yet a little stereotyped, in a way that remembers more the "commedia dell'Arte" rather than the loud, all-out American style.

    If you are looking for something different and well done, you won't be disappointed!
