Brokeback Mountain in Italian I decided to watch the film partly because of the intriguing title, partly because of Vincent Cassel, whose every role is really exciting, partly because of the beautiful Monica. When I saw the movie, I thought it might be funny. And it turns out it's really funny! Better than many modern American comedies. Beautiful soulful film, no vulgar humor, interesting and cheerful presentation, beautiful shooting, elements of drama. Why is the film so little known? Not very much the theme that makes the film suitable for viewing for a rather narrow circle. Well, who wants to feel the suffering of a transvestite, except, of course, his colleagues, as well as lovers of studying human psychology and adventurers through the movies? The author of the review, for example, was just looking for adventures on his brain. But there’s another side to the film – Vincent and Monica – beautiful and gorgeous, which is a strong case for this film. But enough reasoning about the purpose of the film, let’s move on to impressions.
Paradoxically, I really liked the movie. Let the plot is doubtful and somewhat provocative, but how it was done and played! The actor who played Domenico/Desideria was as impressed as the aforementioned Vincent and Monica. The resulting lady even evokes sympathy and sympathy, from all sides a positive girl, just can not stick with it. There are only two big but - she's a prostitute (and is there some decent job for such people? I don't think), and second - she's no girl. That's what changes everything. It reminds me of Emily from The Danish Girl. Female habits of the actor were successful at all, except that an overly refined and sensitive lady came out.
As for Vincent, he was, as he usually happens, beautiful, charismatic, full of his special energy, textured, natural and convincing. Almost everywhere convincing. He didn't convince me of his character's homosexual tendencies. Like Stanislavsky, I didn't believe him. Monica got chemistry, but her rival didn't. The homosexual moments themselves, as you would expect, turned out to be quite nasty to the perception, but funny. However, there is no frankness that the film is plus. There is no persuasiveness in the passion of the characters, but there is a feeling that the actors had good fun and hooliganized portraying it, and this fun the viewer willingly shares. However, this film opens Vincent with a new and very unexpected side. You don’t expect that from his character, that’s for sure.
As for Monica, or rather her heroine, the author of the review is very sorry for her - a beautiful, loving, also positive girl from all sides. The dream of any sane man. Why is she so? And most importantly, Pasquale’s love for her is more convincing than for Domenico. Apparently, in this paradox and all the salt of the film - here you get a happy gay family.
In general, the film is easy and pleasant to watch - due to the dynamic, understandable plot, strange, somewhat repulsive, but cute funny characters. And also worth noting the soundtrack, bright, lively, unusual. Sometimes it can literally surprise you. When I heard the song in Russian, I thought it was a defective tape. But no, it is.
The film is very funny, funny, easy, with good taste. And at the same time a bit perverse, on the amateur. If you want new experiences, want to constantly laugh when watching, meeting with the life of transvestites in small doses does not scare you - this is your film.
