Thanks to the director for making such a good movie

This movie was recommended by a friend. Seeing each other late was the only feeling I had at the time. Sorrentino is such a young and promising director.

how to say? The film is captivating. The signature of Sorrentino's film, I think, is his soundtrack, in addition to his regular actor, Toni Servillo. Very modern, very young, very atmospheric and very bold. Watch the scene where Servillo's character transports a suitcase, and the opening scene where he walks alone in the hallway, and you'll understand.

In addition, Italians have been a must in gangster films since ancient times. There's the Godfather trilogy before, Gomorra after, and there's gangsters in this movie too, and it's inhumane at all.


Sorrentino said that the inspiration for the film came from seeing a lonely man sitting outside a cafe, as if waiting for something. I can understand his inspiration very well, because some old western capitalist countries, after achieving economic and political soundness, are left with personal, primitive, and purest loneliness. I understand that this film is about the loneliness of man.

The ending was so shocking. I don't know where the director came up with this friend who was climbing on a telephone pole in the silent mountains in the snowstorm to repair the telephone pole. He paused for a moment, thinking about his friend, and he didn't know he was dying alone in the cement. This ending left me heartbroken. Too harsh.

Recommend other films by this director. All are good.

    Watching this film, there is a feeling of watching Paul Sorrentino's growth history. In the later beautiful city and youthful spirit, all the advantages have been inherited, all the shortcomings have been made up, and the only constant is the infinite. Aftertaste.

    Sorrentino's early works are really hard to watch without soundtracks, but they are very eye-catching with soundtracks. A man who is nearly half a hundred years old has to live on the walking dead until one day he is moved by a young woman who loves him, and lives for himself for the first time in eight years... This story must be very greasy when filmed by an American director, and an artistic atmosphere when filmed by a European director. …
