Ghahreman (2021)
Pretentious movie
A failed attempt to show human nature and its contradictions. Bad acting, movie way too long, main character portrayed as a total victim, not responsible for any of the things happening to him, pathetic and depressing. As far as I'm concerned overrated, boring, boring, boring.
Quo Vadis, Baby? (2005)
A trip in the dark side of two sisters
A noir of the soul so to say. That's how I would define Salvatores' latest movie. I loved the character of Giorgia, that non-politically correct 40 years old lady who smokes, drinks, is single and tries to live through her past and fears. She's a private investigator and her hardest task is to investigate into the suicide of her sister Ada, 16 years earlier. Salvatores enters the heart of both women and let us see their dreams, fears and lies around the death of one of them. Angela Baraldi (Giorgia) is particularly brilliant and astonishing. You can't take your eyes off of her. The atmosphere is very intense and that is emphasized by the excellent soundtrack of the movie. Very poignant.
