Naples from a bygone era

Reviewed by flikemedia 6 / 10

Overall a good film.

Being of Neapolitan decent, I'll have to admit that how well the era, Neapolitan culture and surroundings of this film were represented is what kept my attention throughout this film. Though set in an era before my time this film brought out a feeling of nostalgia for me. I guess via a connection to my parents being of that era. Same way I felt a connection watching My Brilliant Friend. Aesthetically this is a beautiful film.The film is very well cast with very strong acting from most of the cast. I'm still a bit on the fence though with Franco's performance. At times his Italian speaking is kinda cringey. Maybe it's reminiscent of how poorly I speak Italian myself. Though, this can also be a strength of his performance as well being that he is playing an American in Italy. Maybe if I heard Franco speak perfect Italian I'd be more convinced in his performance.I did enjoy this film though. Enough to write a review.
