Review of Amnèsia

Amnèsia (2002)
7/10
Not one of his best
23 April 2003
Not one of Salvatores best, but still a good movie. The "rewind scene" is unexpected and all the stories well cross one another. Abatantuono is fine as usual, but I wonder how would have been the movie with Bisio playing Angelino. The impression is that Salvatores has abandoned the typical italian stories like the one painted in Marrakesh Express or in Tournee to run after more international plots. As an italian I am a bit disappointed. When I first saw Marrakesh Express I thought I was seeing a part of my life on screen and, like me, most of the italian boys of that generation did. Here we are in front of a movie with a "movie" plot, in a few word something that normal persons never go through during their lives (notwithstanding I have physically been at the Amnesia in Ibiza). Nice to see, but not emotionally involving like his first movies.
