      Very interesting Italian film

      I rarely watched Italian movies, but I felt good to watch this one. I really like the tolerant circle of friends in the movie, like a big family. Transgendered "he", he and her of HOMO, him of AIDS, Turkish new Immigrants, prostitutes, heterosexuals, and the male protagonist Michale, a homosexual.

      The content of the film:
          Antonia is a female doctor who treats AIDS. Her husband who has been married for 15 years was killed in a car accident. After sorting out the belongings,...

      Utopia on the balcony

      Folson Ozpeter’s movies are always big meal after meal, and when the camera moves horizontally across the colorful Italian home-cooked food, it’s hard not to be greedy. The protagonist’s thoughts in "Turkish Bath" have changed. The emotional transition of the plot takes place during a Turkish breakfast, lunch and dinner. The main plot of "Fatigue" is simply structured in a dinner party of friends, "Love Fierce family conflicts broke out at the exquisite banquet in the bourgeois mansion of...

      Folsom style

      His "His Secret Life" was originally a very good name.
          Many of the director’s shots always give me a sense of connection. Very often I think about what the next shot will be like. I like it very much. Many of the director's works are made by him after a while. There are too many details and styles, but they are hard to describe.
          I watched "Fatal Love" first. The themes of the two movies are very similar. When it comes to liking, I prefer Chiai a little more. Perhaps I prefer...

      After her husband died in a car accident, his wife found out that her extramarital lover was a man. The plot is ignored, and it is still the director's usual style, which is in the same tone as blazing love and Turkish bath. It's the kind of atmosphere, just the right emotions, and a group of friends who are tolerant and accepting of each other. It's a tragedy, but it's utopia. It's like singing "I'm still thankful to life" in the movie (Italian movies are always inseparable from the dining...

      If it is Chinese subtitles, it may add one star. It is similar to the setting of who fell in love with him first. Of course, this one must be the originator. After all, this one was filmed in 2001. But I personally didn't have much new ideas and surprises in the process of watching it. I have seen too many similar movies, and rivals in love contacted and reconciled, so my personal impressions were...

    Evaluation action

    Director Ferzan Özpetek packaged "The Ignorant Fairies" with multiculturalism and pride in focusing on disadvantaged groups, but in fact the film is more like a social problem melodrama of the 1970s   . Compared with the director directed by the film " Hamam ", the film is more linear and popular, but the film is not a simple and direct film, but a more complex and meaningful emotional film, the theme of the film goes beyond In...
