Dreams and reality How long have you been dreaming? Have you tried to make your dream come true?
The heroes of this amazingly good film are eager for her, no matter what. Even if it is some stupid dream like conquering the wide roof of the hangar.
The plot of the film for modern Italy is more than relevant. The main characters, torn from completely different social strata: student Dario (Eugenio Franceschini), an ordinary employee of the travel company Maria (Manuela Parody) and their charming parasite owner Hugo (Walter Leonardi), who has long forgotten to charge rent from his guests. All three are forced not only to exist under one roof, with all the ensuing, but also to find themselves. Only here is the problem: the need to pay bills for their roof, which has become common, distracts from their own implementation. And yet, this is a comedy!
I was pleasantly surprised by the general tone of the picture: high-quality humor, “talking” details, unburdened dialogues – all that the Russian viewer likes so much. Everything that my Russian soul has longed for. Such pictures, even in modern European cinema, you will find, alas, not often: honest, kind, unrefined. Paintings that really touch and leave a pleasant aftertaste.
To the place here and every minor hero: a pensioner, rich in stories, a guide who remembers by heart the outcome of all football matches, almost random men who never became the love of Maria’s life – all this creates a realistic pattern of simple life vicissitudes, in which there is a place for sadness and joy, in a series of everyday affairs, work, exams, lunches and dates.
Actors cope with their task naturally and easily, taking the viewer to their own dreams. What if I left and left? What if I took a chance? What about being grateful? What if we stopped being afraid? And be yourself, living your own imperfect life side by side with those same dreamers. Everything else is secondary.
