Trivia
Vittorio Taviani was unable to be on set during principal photography due to health reasons, which is why Paolo Taviani is listed as the sole director in the closing credits (although the opening titles credit the film to both brothers). Vittorio was also unable to attend the film's Italian premiere and press conference at the 2017 Rome Film Fest, and passed away five months later.

A dull Marinelli in a decent Taviani movie

This movie does not deserve the rating that it has on this platform. I'm not going to lie and pretend that this work from the Taviani brothers is a masterpiece but I really think that it has many good characteristic and that in the end it is a pretty good movie. But let's start with the weaknesses of this film: Marinelli is far from his best interpretations, such as the Zingaro's one in "Lo Chiamavano Jeeg Robot" or the one that allowed him to win the Coppa Volpi in 2019, Martin Eden, and his acting is not great, maybe also given the fact that his character is not very well written. Talking about the strenght of this movie I think that we can all agree that the work that the Tavianis did behind the camera is the only thing that make "Una questione privata" worth watching.
