Kyle M @RT77296778 2 days ago The presented gimmick here being a personally touched semi-autobiography on a reflective platform in an attempted insightful manner mainly cater to those who follows Nanni Moretti’s filmmaking career with little takeaway for those who’ve never seen his works, except with occasional humor and a climatically demonstrated criticism as the film’s main buildup during the third anthological entry.

For those looking for options with minimal pretension See more William L @RT77267842 Jul 16, 2021 A solid enough comedy about characters exploring relatively serious aspects of life, such as the changing nature of the world around them and the pursuit of personal expression, and finding in these pursuits a humor that runs through it despite their best intentions. I wouldn't call it the most profound or original film of its kind, as the jokes are pretty straightforward and grounded - a Joyce scholar that gradually becomes obsessed with soap operas, ultimately getting his friend to ask American tourists that have seen newer episodes what happens, claiming that he is ashamed but shouting out his questions from the top of a mountain, for one - but that doesn't mean they aren't funny or well-integrated in the story. The exception is the third act, which takes a more serious tone (counting on some form of connection to Moretti's character that isn't really established very clearly) that doesn't operate as cleanly, and decides to use its time as a criticism of the inability of several doctors to correctly diagnose his cancer; weird choice. Still, Caro Diario is briskly paced, often carries a solid sense of deadpan, and gives a pleasant look at Italy from the perspective of a lifelong resident, so you can't call it a waste of time. (3/5) See more Emilio T @MilloTPue Sep 9, 2019 After half and hour, one feels that the movie would be more pleasant if you felt a partner in the philosophy of Moretti (however, he does not explain enough to understand it, and makes more difficult talking about geographical and cultural localisms; probably, it is a movie for already initiated), or if the sense of humour was not so subtle and ironic, in a way it becomes not funny at all. Sometimes it looks exhibicionism pre-YouTube. Probably, it looks more narcisistic because you don't fell Moretti is half as sharp as he believes he is. You can watch it (sometimes, the music and the silence are just peaceful), but not enjoy enough to continue. If I continue watching, there is risk to give just 2 stars.

The locations are so evocative, and the juxtaposing cultural references make me laugh out loud: "Flashdance" and The Bold and the Beautiful. See more Read all reviews
