Speaking of Italy, all I can think of is enthusiasm, exuberance, romance, fashion, etc., because Italy, like Italian cinema itself, is full of these elements and makes people reverie, and today I will introduce a few films about Italian women.
First, the beautiful legend of Sicily
Douban score 8.7
I believe that everyone has brushed the video of the above picture before, when I saw it at the time, I felt that wow this heroine is so beautiful and beautiful, looking for such a long film, I finally finished watching this movie.
The film is a drama film directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, starring Monica Bellucci, Guisepe Sul Faro, etc., released in Italy on October 27, 2000, although it is a bit old, but it is really unforgettable after watching it, and it is highly recommended.
Mainly through the perspective of the teenager Reinaldo, it tells the story of Marina, a beautiful young woman on the Italian island of Sicily during World War II.
A legend, it is about youth, the germination of love comes from instinct, about human nature, it exposes the ugliness that cannot be hidden under the goodness at first glance, more about society, the ups and downs of Marlena's fate refract out of the pathology of social opinion itself, the beauty of the country, like the paradise of Sicily, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" with beauty to win people's hearts.
The charming Marlena is like a goddess, and her smile makes the men in the town beat faster and stop thinking.
Has always liked this poster, magnified by the lens Of marina, both the background and the theme, inadvertently highlighting the beauty, so quiet, and charming, between the hands and feet, each picture has become a classic shot, just like the Italian red, enthusiastic, colorful and vulgar, so that beauty becomes a temperament, an aftertaste, and a distant legend.
Second, secret
Douban score 8.0
The Secret is an Italian drama film released in 2006, directed by Giuseppe Tornadore and starring Clemenia Lapoporte / Michele Prachido / Claudia Jerrini / Piella Digley Esposti
The film tells the story of Ilya Yelishko, who came from Ukraine to Virazzi, Italy, from Ukraine, renting a simple and dilapidated room, asking the janitor of the apartment opposite for a job, and even willing to give a portion of her salary. After that, she meets Piera Degli Esposti, a maid of three in the apartment, and tries her best to inquire about the family named Anderzier, and steals the keys to their house. In order to enter Andezir's house, Ilia is even more unscrupulous. She seemed to be looking for something, and she seemed to be hiding from something. It all seems to be closely related to Ilia's past...
Tornatore's version of Nikita + kind gold, the plot is good, the sense of suspense is sufficient, and it is also a little scary, but it always feels that the narrative is a bit procrastinating, quite sad heroine, seeing the last moment is still very moving, the bright ending at least let us see, and then the fragmented life can also be pieced together when it is complete, as long as there is still a little hope.
3. Stealing incense
Douban score 7.9
Stealing Incense is a romantic film directed by Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci and starring Liv Taylor, Ignazio Oliva, and Jeremy Irons, released in 1996. As soon as I heard the name of this film, it was full of a strong taste of temptation.
The film tells the story of a young Lucy who takes her mother's diary from suicide to a small town to visit her mother's former friends and stay in the home of the sculptor Grayson. In fact, four years ago, Lucy had been here with her mother and met a boy named Nikolai. She was once deeply touched by a letter he sent and had a wonderful first love time with him. Nowadays, Grace's home is extremely lively, gathering all kinds of characters, Lucy's beautiful charm has touched the men here, and the writer Alex, who suffers from leukemia, is even more difficult to extricate himself. Nikolai returns from abroad, but Lucy discovers that he is a playboy and has been moved in vain. At this point, the search for her biological father became Lucy's heart knot. She slowly matured during this journey and found the person she loved.
Some directors are born literary, no matter how the film is made, it can not linger on that rich literary temperament, such as Bertolucci. The beauty of the heroine is prosperous, and every picture in the movie is beautiful enough to be enchanting. Tieba likes the few shots of her smoking marijuana and talking about life with a critically ill writer, the mountain city in the suburbs, the night, from the whole picture, this scene is like a Renaissance oil painting with a strong texture...
Fourth, the name of the woman
Douban score 6.3 (not very high, but very realistic)
The Name of a Woman is a drama film directed by Marco Tullio Giodana, starring Cristiana Capotonti / Valerio Binasco / Stefano Skandaretti, released in 2018.
The film tells the story of a single mother facing sexual harassment in her new workplace, and Lena, a single mother, with her young daughter, works as a caregiver in a private nursing home. The work seems ideal, the colleagues get along well, but the original hides the secret: the sick boss indulges in the temptation of uniform, under the protection of the priest, uses the employees to satisfy selfish desires, and finally this stubborn woman breaks through many obstacles and punishes the villain through legal means.
Italian cinema is famous for its realism and nature. The established European film production base will certainly not disappoint. A widespread social problem, sexual assault in the workplace. The plot is not full of ups and downs, the suspense is not big, the impressive thing is the same insult, but for various reasons have to endure, some people choose silence, some people choose to use legal weapons to protect themselves, this is the part that makes people feel resonant.
Fifth, a brilliant life
Douban score 9.4
Brilliant Life is a drama film directed by Italian director Marco Tullio Giordiona and starring Luigi Lo Cacho / Alessio Boni / Sonia Bergamasco / Maya Sansa, released in Italy in 2003.
The film tells the story of an ordinary Italian family of six, Carati, who experienced the ups and downs of social and family changes from 1966 to 2000, and the process of life, old age, illness and death. Although the protagonist of this film is not only a woman, but a family is also indispensable to women. Although the plot is a bit long (6 hours), it is definitely a good movie for everyone to watch, interested friends please watch the original film.
From the growth of a family, from encompassing the historical changes of Italy, to the understanding, transformation, and death of each individual. I was in tears at the sight, and the civilian epic could be so resentful. 366 minutes condensed 40 years of time flow, with a family's sad and happy clutch, slowly depicting the changes in Italy's post-war personnel, the director's brush strokes are gentle, warm colors run through the whole process, there is no deliberate sensationalism but it makes me cry several times, and all the emotions are moisturized and silently penetrate into the skin. The film also won the 48th Italian David Awards - Best Picture, and the director is also talented, and many of the films have won international awards.
