never experienced so much anxiety and physical pain watching a movie. I could not sit still in the easy chair in the cinema. From the beginning the music explodes from the connotations of horror, strong, intense, vigorous, stir masks, monsters, dark lights, fog. Chaos, anxiety, pathos, breathless sighs. The story of two peers
Mattia and Alice, two prime numbers, lonely by definition, destined to never meet. Two dramas behind: he abandons his sister in a park late to go to the party of his classmate, she returned from a skiing accident remains lame for life. He has self-destructive tendencies, introverted and silent, you become anorexic and with a large scar that reminds him every day the cause of his illness. Meet, even if not actually need each other: neither can do anything for each other. Are not resolved, are not practical. However, from their first meeting will be forever entwined in the life of each other, growing together, never misses, spoke little, capendosi only with their looks. Two parallel universes, incomprehensible to the outside world, including the family, but do not live far away. But also by neighbors will always be alone.
A praise goes to director Saverio Costanzo for being able to translate the book of Jordan in an exceptional manner. Rare case where I may have appreciated the film more. The music and silences, shadows and glare, and the sudden landscape shots. Everything implies its opposite, creating effects of tension, suspension and a real pain. All exemplifies the travails of two young lives, essential to both. Superb performances by Alba Rohrwacher (Alice) and Luca Marinelli (Matt) much appreciated theater actors who have had to experience nearly pain of their characters on their body slimming the first and fattening him. Mortified body, containing two wounded souls read, sad and lonely, for a chase for eternity without ever being able to embrace, knowing that one lives only with each other.
