FHELICITY
Type: (self) confession in the form of comedy
Direction: Micaela Ramazzotti. With Micaela Ramazzotti, Max Tortora, Anna Galiena, Sergio Rubini, Matteo Olivetti, Florence Guerin
There is something moving in the subject with which Micaela Ramazzotti chose to make her directorial debut, because it almost seems like an official defense of all the characters of women marked in spirit and used in body with which she had made herself appreciatedfrom The first beautiful Thing to The crazy joyfrom A family until Shipwrecks.
Desiré is also marked and usedassistant cinema hairdresser that everyone feels obliged to use, starting with parents and partners.

Father and mother do not want to see the failure of their lives and therefore subject their daughter to blackmail (from an economic point of view) and the son (from the emotional one). While the man with whom she should share her life crushes and humiliates her in the name of his class and wealth superiority.
The exuberance of the newcomer leads Ramazzotti to underline certain defects with far too much emphasisending up transforming the father, played by Max Tortora, into an exaggerated clone of Sordi, but the painful resignation with which his Desiré accepts physical and psychological abuse that he undergoes are the indication of a sincerity that cannot be taken for granted and of a decidedly promising cinematographic ambition.
For those who want to meet another (and sincere) Micaela.
