No time to die.

(Universal Pictures)

The cinemas have reopened for a while, but it was a long time since, having to decide on a film to go and see at the weekend, we were not in the classic embarrassment of choice. Okay, you have to have the green pass and in the room the mask must be kept. But in short, all those who in recent years have taken care to let us know that the films must be seen in the cinema, who have spoken (more or less sincerely) of the denied joy of the dark room, must absolutely begin to make up for lost time.



For the latest appearance of Daniel Craig as James Bond, the authors did not want to miss anything. So in No time to die by Cary Fukunaga there are all the elements that made the fortune on the big screen of the character created by Ian Fleming: spectacular action scenes, expertly modified luxury cars, fascinating locations (including Matera and the very classic Caribbean), the Specter and Blowfeld (without a cat), the supervillain on duty based on a remote island, Q with his tricks, M with his political agenda, Moneypenny more than ever devoted, fatal, lethal and in love women, tuxedos and evening dresses, vodka martini (shaken not mixed and in this case also swallowed), the friends of the CIA, the Walther Ppk, the charm, the irony (you can feel the touch of Phoebe “Fleabag” Waller-Bridge among the writers), the ruthlessness and eventually Bond’s humanity as well. The inflexible spoiler laws keep us from saying more. But we can begin to think about who will be able to take Daniel Craig’s heavy baton.

In another universe, Chiara celebrates her sister’s 18 years. At the party organized by the Guerrasio family in a club in Gioia Tauro, everyone is cheerful and carefree. But once the candles have been blown out, we return to reality and Chiara discovers that her father has secrets. After Mediterranean e To Ciambra, A Chiara is the third film by Jonas Carpignano set in Gioia Tauro. After recounting immigration and the life of the Roma, Carpignano describes, coherently with his realistic stylistic mission, the vicissitudes of a family like many others, forced to survive in a land where it is impossible not to deal with organized crime. The cast of non-professional actors (many of them from the Rotolo family, who practically play themselves) revolves around the interpretation of Swamy Rotolo, 16, in the role of Chiara.



I agree with Julia Ducournau when she says that Titanium, Palme d’Or 2021, is also a love film. Undoubtedly, his film, which begins with a car accident and an operation on the skull of a little girl, is anything but a romantic walk, not recommended for those who do not like horror or very violent cinema. We find Alexia (Agathe Rousselle), the skull-operated girl, who performs as a dancer, rubbing against a flaming Cadillac in a kind of car show. After the demonstration, a spectator of her fan harasses her and she reacts by sticking a hair clip in his ear. Alexia’s descent into hell, in an anonymous and bewildered French province, is just beginning. His parable intersects with that of Vincent (Vincent Lindon), firefighter captain and father of a missing child, in turn engaged in his own self-destructive drift. Horror and horror continue to dot Alexia and Vincent’s path, but the thought begins to emerge that even if one descends to hell, it can be comforting not to be alone.

After the victory of the Palme d’Or of Titanium, the photo released by Nanni Moretti “suddenly aged” in front of the idea of ​​a woman getting pregnant by a Cadillac made me laugh. I immediately thought back to one of my favorite sequences of Expensive daily, when a disconcerted Moretti at the exit of the Fiamma cinema tries to remember how he ended up seeing Henry, rain of blood. By the way it is worth remembering that in the hall there is also his latest film, Three floors, based on the popular novel by Eshkol Nevo. Someone will say that he is no longer the Nanni Moretti of Expensive daily, but it doesn’t matter. Avercene by Nanni Moretti.
