I was really positively surprised by Valeria Golino’s directorial debut – who was chosen for Cannes’ La Semain this year. Style-wise, it doesn’t look like a debut film… It doesn’t look Italian, too. And when I say it doesn’t look Italian I am speaking of that macro-genre which has involved most of our national cinema in the past 30 years, almost suffocating it to death. This film is accurate, ironic, though, well shot and well written: it achieves in being not rethoric even if it speaks of a risky subject for a catholic country such as euthanasia. Jasmine Trinca has never been so intense and charismatic. Brava Valeria Golino. After George Clooney’s career as a director, it’s not so surprising that good actors can be good directors.
