Marco Giallini, Elio Germano and the nuances of life
Poverty and wealth, injustice and the desire to deceive others. I am Storm shows the details of the company. On the one hand, i losers: those who have been unjustly oppressed and defeated by life, who see a possibility of redemption ever more distant. On the other, arrogance and a sense of impunity of those who have managed – in a more or less lawful way – to get rich and believe themselves invincible.
Marco Giallini. (01 Distribution)
Marco Giallini and Elio Germano they give life to two characters as distant and different as they are articulated. Despite the obvious rift, show strengths and weaknesses of both. The film, in fact, is a constant reference to nuances. Not everything is black or white and the relationship between Numa and Bruno, as well as the harmony that is created with the other guests of the cooperative, stimulate a broader reflection.
Although the register is that of the comedy, the themes dealt with are reminiscent of the drama, but on the whole they do not weigh down the story. Indeed, the well-balanced tones and dialogues are the right expedient to give lightness to the story.
