the Zuccarellis
10 July 2022
A story working only if you feel it. A title like a game of words because each of the three Zuccarelli can be the father and the son. And it is fair that.

It is a film who I like very much. First, for acting. Second, for poetic realism. A single father an his sons,his dead brother, his book, his girlfriend comparing it with Tolstoi, his literary insucces and , in some measure, at the first sight, the fail as father.

His boys , the older wonded by an unhappy love story,refuged in easy love dominated by supperficiality.

The younger, too mature, enloved, dominated by mystic crisis and wise, in the manner of early teens.

And the father, admirable acted by Benoit Poelvoorde, isolated in his regrets and illusions.

A precise perspective about family. Direct and fair.
