Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe main characters, being former classmates who graduated 16 years before, are all 34-35 old. Most of the actors are younger than their characters, some by a lot: Nancy Brilli (24), Giusi Cataldo (27), Isa Gallinelli (31), Massimo Ghini (almost 34), Luisa Maneri (28), Luigi Petrucci (32), Silvio Vannucci (32) and Carmela Vincenti (32).
Only three are the right age: Maurizio Ferrini, Eleonora Giorgi and Giovanni Vettorazzo, all 35 at shooting time; Carlo Verdone (37), Alessandro Benvenuti (38), Fabio Traversa (almost 36) and Christian De Sica (37), while older than 35, are not too old to play characters that were held back a few years.
Angelo Bernabucci (44), Athina Cenci (42) and Piero Natoli (almost 45) are the oldest, all much older than the characters they play.
Featured review
I have lost count of how many times I have watched, and watched again, this masterpiece of Italian cinema. A tragicomedy that sums up the goals missed and the delusions achieved in life. And vice-versa..
15 years is indeed a long time, and if you decide to "review your life", do it with those who have been around all along.
It is indeed a wonderful movie, a snapshot of the Italian life (applicable however also to other cultures, just think of "friend-face", the memorable episode of The IT crowd) and you will see the aim of the exercise: to try and appear successful before the eyes of, let's face it, complete strangers.
I love it.
