Featured review
Remember Pear Harbour
Carmela progresses her relationship with Mr Wegler, whilst Tony Blundetto attempts to further develop his non-criminal career.
This is very interesting character study of two individuals attempting to function independently of Tony Soprano.
It's nice to see Carmela find some enjoyment with a different person and I admire how the writers have developed her character from the earlier seasons. The scenes with Father Phil are particularly strong for her (not him). Without giving away too much detail, her arc with Wegler contains some quite painful realism.
Blundetto is cleverly portrayed through a similar arc to Carmela that takes him down a long road of hard work that it is littered with tempting shortcuts as the shadow of Tony looms over everything. One aspect of the plot is very random, but it works well for the arc.
The writers include strong themes of social and ethnic class structures in the choices made by Italian-America and Asian-American characters. Mr Wegler is an interesting foil coming seemingly from a different world to the others. There are numerous clever allusions and direct references to classical literature.
It is another powerfully cinematic episode with great symbolism like the fish out of water and other great sequences that tell the story visually.
All actors are excellent, especially Edie Falco who shows her usual great range in numerous scenes.
