Ladri di saponette
Kritiken (1)
It is the most acclaimed film by Maurizio Nichetti, in a certain sense his showcase, a film that made an impression at several festivals, and I have a feeling it was successful at the Karlovy Vary festival as well. It is the director's homage to the era of classic Italian neorealism of the 1940s and 1950s. At the same time, it confronts the old, poor Italy of that time with the consumer-oriented Italian society of the late 1980s by sending a charming photo model from an advertising campaign into the past. The title of the film is reminiscent of Vittorio De Sica's famous film Bicycle Thieves. As usual for him, the director also played the main role here. It is an original, witty piece where humor intertwines with social themes. Overall impression: 80%.
