I remembered “Malena” by Giuseppe Tornatore, which I watched for a long time, with Monica Bellucci in the title role – the love story of a teenager to the first beauty of the city. The action takes place in Sicily during the time of the Duce and at the very end of the film - after the war. The women of the city hate the beauty Malena, and the men lust for her, for which their wives hate her even more. After receiving news of her husband’s death for the sake of survival, Malena went “on the wrong track”, after which the women of the city caught her, beat her, cut her hair and told her to leave the city, which she did. After the war, her husband returns from captivity without a hand, no one can answer the question where his wife disappeared, only the boy tells him about it. A year later, they return to their city together, and then the attitude towards her changes dramatically. The boy keeps the memory of Malena all his life. She was too beautiful and he was too young to protect her. ? The music of Ennio Morricone is in the spirit of that time.
