The sequel (very successful) of August holidays: excellent cast and the suggestive location in Ventotene
Almost thirty years after August holidaysreleased in 1996, Paolo Virzì returns to Ventotene to shoot the sequel to one of his most famous films and acclaimed by critics. Another mid -Augustlike the previous one, oscillates between the comedy of costume and merciless analysis of today’s Italy and paints perfectly a Choral portrait of contemporary society.
Written by the director with Francesco Bruni and his brother Carlo Virzì, The film is very funny but also dark and melancholy; In short, a bitter comedy that photographs the civil and political darkness of an Italy sunk in an unstoppable drift, how and (certainly) worse than twenty -eight years ago. AND The director is very good at focusing on the many characters With extreme accuracy.
Silvio Orlando, Laura Morante, Sabrina Ferilli return to the old cast of the old castPaola Tiziana Cruciani and Gigio Alberti while, Among the “new entries”Andrea Carpenzano, Vinicio Marchioni, Anna Ferraioli Ravel are added but above all A phenomenal Christian De Sica. True incarnation of the art of making Italian comedy. A praise also to Emanuela Fanelli that, in a scene now cult, reflects in a poisonous, but sacrosanct way, of how much and how Italy has become a people of ignorant haters.
