Famous Person At Showers



Not what you all want: a quiet life? Aside Vasco Rossi, of course. A wife, a son, a job that feel fulfilled. The estimate of people, you know, who knows who you are. Rosario Russo is no exception. In order to find peace, left the Casertano and emigrated to Germany. He opened a hotel and restaurant, where the people making them welcome into her family intimacy, made of a German wife, efficient and comprehensive, a son, a child who speaks Italian, but German's hair (blond) to a friend "from below", with which he can be himself.

The quiet life, Rosario, has found in a remote village in Germany, near a forest where he goes to hunt wild boar. Yes, the wild boar. Rosario to enter the forest because it is that's where the animal lives. The wild boar is, you can not expect to come out from its natural habitat and get yourself in that world, middle-class that is close to the forest. Moreover, if, ironically, it did, that the savage world. So, Rosario enters the dark forest with a rifle. You see, the boar, quiet, rooting. Rosario takes aim, shoots him. Then, the door out of the forest, in the kitchen of his restaurant. Finally, he serves at the table with a side dish of crabs. Flat strange, it's true, but it also means welcome customers go and meet their tastes, therefore, a good restaurant as Rosario is not ashamed to cook less pizza and more wild boar with crabs. Why are German ones: they eat everything. And you drink it all.

After the successful debut of the comedy Lessons chocolate, Claudio Cupellini signing his second directorial sce gliendo a black history. Like a black tunnel with no exit, as a dead infamous Gomorrah, like the forest in Germany. As the life of a man who chooses to kill another. The life of a mafioso, a racketeer. The issue, already touched upon in Lessons chocolate, is that of redemption. Possible or impossible? According to the protagonist, impossible. His most important stop in the topical scene of the film, when he turns to a priest in a comatose state, sounds like a condemnation, without appeal: "God does not care about helping people." He says that he regretted the things done in the past, Rosario. Maybe he sincerely believes. But it is not. His death hoax, staged to avoid a wasted life up to that point in the underworld, he soon reveals an expedient Pirandello. How Mattia Pascal, Rosario Russo has also deceived her not to come to terms with the past. But those accounts, with past that, you have to do it. The redemption passes for strait and forced accountability: in front of themselves, others, God where are you? Where is your brother? Invoke the forgiveness of God, who is Truth and Life, by lying about their identity and having given the death easier for a cable enters the eye of a needle.

Here, then, that life "suicide" is back, and in the most compelling: the father's love for his son. Not Mathias, the son of "German" father's restaurant, but Diego, the son of his father Neapolitan Camorra. Discarded, Rosario had violated a taboo first: the sacredness of love, drawing on a lifetime, he had violated a second: the sanctity of death. Just as Pascal Pirandello's the lesson of Debenedetti.

Toni Servillo interpreting Rosario Russo, skillfully made, in flesh and blood, this character never epifanizzato sentenced to pursue peace in the impossibility of personal relationships. The tragedy is that they can not love anymore, not even a wife, not even a child. Even changing his wife, son or changing. His quiet life is his hell.
