Featured review
A joyful madness
"A joyful madness" would have been a better translation for the international market.
Such a surprisingly good film.
Well, not entirely surprising because Paolo Virzì, from Tuscany, currently one of Italy's best directors, his movies always centred around interesting, well defined characters, masterfully mixing comedy and drama, in this case with heart breaking results.
It helps that this screenplay has been written together with talented screenwriter and director Francesca Archibugi who, amongst other things, in 1990 directed Italian movie icon Marcello Mastroianni in the drama "Verso sera" (Towards Evening). Her contribution to this film must be acknowledged.
The two leading actresses are excellent.
Micaela Ramazzotti as the desperate mother who, amongst all sort of troubles, tries to get back in contact with her only son.
Even better is Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, who is absolutely amazing as Donatella, the rich countess who struggles to cope with her mental disorders but who takes the younger Beatrice under her wing. When they run away from the psychiatric facility they are placed in by the authorities (perfectly depicted in typical human but caothic way) their foolish adventure begin.
Such an intense, moving, touching film.
Highly recommended.
