My Movie Review: The movie is beautiful emotional odyssey that's very degrading in some moments and too real if I say it shock me but it's very heartfelt and uplifts spirit towards the end very well crafted and well told although out' the misfortune so cringe and realism won me over!! The Last Paradiso is a wonderful masterpiece beautifully shot and an interesting drama that challenges the impossible with some sort of miracle Chiccio reincarnated into his twin Antonio to be with Bianca, remember on the bus when he was leaving the town he saw his brother & that’s where the twins became one to get the justice or Antonio marries Bianca who seems to find a reflection of Chiccio in his twin brother too not only because they were twins and had physical resemblance but a part of Chiccio that couldn't bear injustice, reflected in Antonio too:) Wonderful cinematography with evocative rural coloring so that the rural scents drift off the screen so the plot is somewhat clattered and the fantasy sequences are a bit ragged but it's a delightfully paced pageant' in setting that simply calls out for a good pasta to be accompanied:)
Movie News: The Last Paradiso is a period melodrama co-written by and starring Riccardo Scamarcio, who has an Italian Clooney thing going on, and has starred in a handful of Netflix films in the last couple years. Ciccio Paradiso (Scamarcio) is a married man with a young son who unashamedly dips his wick in many pots, know what I mean. His wife, Lucia (Valentina Cervi), knows what he’s up to. Hell, the whole town knows what he’s up to. Ciccio and Lucia stand in the church and he snacks on Communion wafers when she confronts him about his rampant infidelity, and he says he loves her, but loves many others too. Ciccio’s preferred babe-on-the-side is Bianca (Gaia Bermani Amaral). They have pork-happy picnics in the humble and lovely Italian countryside, nudge nudge wink. Her sister just tut-tuts and looks the other way. Bianca’s the lovely offspring of Cumpa Schettino (Antonio Gerardi), who employs all the locals in his wheat and olive fields but he gets away with everything, To be fair, the movie is hokey and messy but reasonably watchable and buoyed by an operatic sensibility contributing to entertainment value, perhaps not on a dramatic manner intended, but effective nonetheless!!
