Puccini in the role of bad
For the first time Vittoria Puccini plays a bad fairy tale. “A very bad – underlines the actress of Madly – This character has conquered me because he does not make discounts to anyone and never has a moment of redemption or repentance: Felicia is able to trample anyone who hinders it. He is a character who as an actress allowed me to dare and play».
«It was very funny – continues the actress – I inspired myself a little to the bad guys of the Disney fairy tales. Together with the director Pier Paolo Paganelli aBbiamo thought of the stepmother of Cinderella and cruelia de mon de The charge of 101. At the beginning the challenge worried me – he admits – I wondered: will I be credible in the role of bad? At that point I entrusted myself to the director ».

The cast of Enchantment With Giorgio Panariello
Giorgio Panariello returns to the cinema after ten years from One for everyone by Mimmo Calopreti. Here he plays the clown Charlie, a character who brings hope in the life of little Margot. “Every now and then there is some enlightened director who goes beyond my image as a comedian on the Saturday night on a television evening – says Panariello -. I feel close to this clown because I also often carry masks for work, And despite not being a father, I try a certain empathy with children ».
Charlie’s circus is a circus sui generis in which feelings, friendship and benevolence are guiding circus. In addition to having fun, they seem there for a much higher purpose: Restruel the hearts and heal the wounds of children harassed by the perfidious Felicia. “This character deserves a series,” says Panariello.
Review of the movie
The film flows in its simplicity. He follows the canons of the fairy tale with characters that we have often already met: Matrigne blinded by power and hatred, clumsy and in love assistants, children looking for a redemption and saved from friendship. Here to save Margot is a family alternative to his: an unexpected love that falls from heaven.
It is not so much the magic that Charlie holds and his circus that brought serenity to the heart of the small protagonist, but the strength of love found after the lost one of the father. Enchantment It is a film suitable for families that relies on good feelings and that magical vein And a little dreamer that would do well if it becomes an ingredient used more often in our cinema. Too bad that the film comes out in July, a complicated month for the Italian box office. Then with Superman And The fantastic 4 Outgoing in the same period the challenge becomes impossible.
