It's another quintessential Sorrentino film so we're once again treated to a long, Fellinesque film full of beautifully stylized images, colorful characters and semi-interesting or quasi-profound chatter. This time it is a semi-autobiographical film that shows the coming-of-age of an adolescent boy in Naples whose life is dominated by the possible arrival of Maradona at the football club of Naples but even more by his yearning for his first sexual experience, preferably with his seductive, voluptuous but mentally disturbed aunt. However, his childhood is spoiled by a dramatic event that makes him no longer want to become a philosopher but a filmmaker, because Fellini indicated that film is a distraction from an escape from reality and the troubled young man could use that.

He learns from Fellini that film can make reality more beautiful or more interesting and from the Neapolitan filmmaker Capuano that you need guts to be successful and that you have to have a story to tell, which lessons Sorrentino seems to be putting into practice with this film. bring. His story seems to be that your life, at least as an adolescent, is defined by unexpected events – the hand of God seems to point to destiny – that shape you into the mature person you become and who has more control over life. Although the film provides little innovation, Sorrentino does manage to make the somewhat everyday reality more interesting so that the film never gets boring.

Very fine Sorrentino where the atmosphere of that typical Italian cinema is exhaled. The plot is a kind of coming of age of the young Fabietto. Growing up in a close-knit family and environment where there is a corner here and there. Where life is worth living despite the routine. Very colorful characters are reviewed, but the whole that all in all has little coherence, is still easy to follow.

A movie that never bored me. Maradona runs like a red thread through the film and through the life of every Neapolitan. An obscure city and club in decline chosen by God. The film features some great scenes and characters such as the family party with the angry aloof aunt and another relative's new girlfriend, the ever-great Toni Servillo as Fabieto's father, the voluptuous aunt, Capuano, and finally the scene with the Baroness spontaneously reminded of Chalamet's peach.

The beauty of the film, besides the stylistic craftsmanship, is how the life in the film is knitted together. Love, friendship, future, sadness and passion are beautifully intertwined into one beautiful whole. And despite the fact that God has descended on Naples, and despite the fact that the hot Aunt Patrizia is subordinate to Maradona, it turns out that life and happiness are relative. Fabietto discovers that his life was an illusion to the current real reality. Making a film ultimately seems to him to be the ideal escape to go back to that dream world.

Another rich film by Paolo Sorrentino in which the good Italian life, Naples and family ties are honored. Most of the characters have some flaws. That exhibitionist aunt of Fabio (Sorrentino must have thought: if we perform a sexy aunt I'll show something) eventually ends up in the insane asylum. There is a sex scene in it that is horrifying. It's too much to mention, especially because the story sometimes bounces in all directions. To quote Gerard Reve: again there is no normal person in it. But what a viewing pleasure!
