Can You Install A Towel Bar On A Pedestal Sink

Tiscali


The take of Anna
"Dear Charles, big laughs and big"
Anna Falchi (www.annafalchi.it)



Carlo Verdone with The Great Big, thick and dark green back to play the double actor and director after the interlude of the two "Manual of Love" by Giovanni Veronesi where Charles was only an actor. But this time it does not take that important journey that started long time ago with the wolf or the wolf curse the day I met you and that was it while it lasts forever Love is My Best Enemy, and its climax, where ' Roman author was working on a play at the same time clear and articulate. But even in the fine ensemble film that we blame ourselves and to marry Iris Blond film we were faced with more European, more mature - in Woody Allen's first stage thriller / noir that is.
A lot of laughs - Now after twelve years Honeymoons and almost thirty years by a lot nice and White, Red and Verdone (which together make up the beautiful Borotalco the triptych of his magnificent debut) returns to make us laugh and think proposing some of his famous masks that represent the ingenuity, the defects sometimes perversion and phobias of the average. These masks have distant roots that arise from the sketch that Verdone was for non-stop and then have matured over the years: now with this film has Verdone recontextualized nowadays all its anti-heroes. Enzo, Ivano, via de Armando Feroci The capercaillie is now the melancholy Vecchiarutti Moreno. The introverted and Mimmo jinx, passing John Leo has now become Nuvolone. While Furio, by Raniero became Professor Cagnato Callisto.
good script - Grande, grosso e Verdone is a movie full of narrative solutions, has a wonderful screenplay, written by the same Verdone with Maestro Piero De Bernardi (who also signed the masterpiece Classmates) and Pasquale Plastino. This time, Verdone has decided not to mount alternately the characters but to give the stories a sequentially ordered. So, according to the same author, we could also talk about three different movies, each of which has its own specific states. The irresistible family
Nuvolone - The first episode in the name of "whiteness" (to paraphrase the same Verdone), the clouds and the family of the three, the most grotesque, but where "grotesque" has a positive sense, to Henri Bergson or Chekhov - Verdone knows that very well. The director also double the two children with the same tone of voice with different frequencies and in addition to the person who originally inspired the voice characterized by Mimmo brother is playing the role of Quirino. The duet between the brothers is irresistible. Then it appears for the first time on screen Massimo Marino, cult figure of the underground Roman trash TV that every time he opens his mouth drops down from the audience laughter. Also in this episode is backed by Geppi Cucciari Verdone, in the role of the wife, who confirmed his enormous comic talent. Anything goes more: unfortunate events, and repeating "fantozziana" memory hits the poor, naive family Nuvolone.
Professor Callisto and art - The second episode with the character of Professor Cagnato Callisto is the darkest, darkest, there is indirect as a socio-political criticism, especially in a highly symbolic scene where the professor goes to a prostitute he meets political and Verdone here for a few moments gives us the fantastic form of neurotic cousin of Roger A lot of nice, what who always had a calculator in hand. In this episode there are great references to art history and archeology, because Verdone is primarily an intellectual end. Son of intellectuals. Which had as masters Rossellini, Sordi, Leo.
The genuine humanity of Moreno and Enza - The third episode is the great humanity leaks out from the mask Vecchiarutti Moreno. Here is an indirect attack on the false respectability, which creates the television show, the vulgarity, the real, scary and evil that lurks in more licking balls, high society and glossy society as opposed to the authentic and genuine humanity and Moreno Enza (the excellent Claudia Gerini). In film
Verdone, however, always behind the facade comic or humorous elements coexist and cynical satire behind his mask is always a double bottom agrodolce.Un big round of applause to the young talent is beneficial Emanuele (My brother is already an exceptional one-child where she played young Elio Germano) here is Steven, the son who accompanies the couple on holiday in crisis. It furthers good, naturally, has a great presence, I predict for him a radiant career. And then Claudia Gerini is very good, has some extraordinary comic timing.
A cast of beautiful and fascinating - The film is enriched by many other lovely female presence: Eva Riccobono (model for the first time on screen), Clizia Fornasier (Night Before Exams 2), and the talented Martina Pinto. Verdone is in fact a director who loves and is one of the few actresses to have a great feeling with the protagonists of his films, so many have dropped, others consecrated: Eleonora Giorgi, Ornella Nuti, Elena Sofia Ricci, Claudia Gerini, Margherita Buy up to Asia Argento, Laura Morante, Stefania Rocca. In short, Grande, grosso e Verdone is a film that I recommend to everyone, young and old alike except for the category of intellectual snob.
What's cooking - now what the next step Carlo Verdone? Perhaps a return to good ensemble comedy? Mah? I think Aurelio de Laurentiis already know.
