GENRE: Drama
LENGTH: 125 min
A film with a nice 'start, enjoyable for the use of Italian dialect that you have right away but just plain and strong and continues as the film starts, always fast and with the same rhythm. A robbery after another. A murder after another.
And maybe here, now, the limit is manifested in this film. A descriptive analysis of the life of another without Vallanzasca add. A hard
the beautiful René. Mica an idiot. A master of hard life. Master of robbery and weapons cool. One who goes his own way, is what it is. One who takes what he wants. One who does not accept the rules, laws and taxation and spitting in life all the strength of the muscles of the body, breath, skin and bones, blood and anger. Anger that pervades those years and that comes out in every way in robberies and murders of the "boss Comasina" and bloody struggle to Francis Turatello (before he became friends in prison) as well as in political struggles and terrorism that underpin all the world from the late sixties early eighties: the Red Brigades in Italy to the RAF in Germany and Action Directe in France, the army Red Black Panthers in Japan to the United States (not to mention the Palestinian terrorism and Carlos).
And this is the common denominator of Evil Vallanzasca with that of a terrorist who has killed so many causes and bloodied Italy el 'Europa like Vallanzasca.
Placido know what to make films no doubt. Above all, knows how to move in the seventies, who has lived in full. But in the end make a movie that makes a niche despite action movies. Too much violence, too limited to pure generation company violent little digging into the psychology of the character too physical and not very nice of human René (if one can speak of human).
Bravissimo the cast. Two above all: Kim Rossi Stuart and Filippo Timi. In truth I think Filippo Timi overlaps a span Kim Rossi Stuart as unable to give his character (Enzo) a depth and complexity that is missing in Vallanzasca (Kim Rossi Stuart)
rating: three stars (but a bit 'Scarsini)
