Die ahnungslosen Engel

If you're thinking about if this show worths your time: it does. The soundtrack is perfect, the photography is marvelous.

The story is so well made, that even the way the season ended i wouldn't be crying or mad if they choose not to do another season.

Every story were well explored, they did a really great job by giving every character a real depth, it felt like i was watching a real story. Its envolving, it treats how humas co-op with fidelity, love, self-love, hate... It has every element to say this is true art

I know, i know, i will not give you any spoilers, i will just end this review by saying that this show deserves more recognition.

"The ignorant angels" offers wonderful as well as unreal sets, a sloppy and lazy script that even good actors can do nothing to save, and a total lack of cinematographic composition. In a nutshell, it reminds us how poor and old the standard of too many Italian television productions is. It is surprising that Disney instead of RAI distributed a program of such a low level.

This Italian TV series is by Ferzan Özpetek and Gianni Romoli and inspired by the 2001 film of the same name directed by the same Turkish director. I have been a fan of every film he has been associated with and this 8 part series is superb in every sense of the word.

The Ignorant Angels are the ones we meet and don't recognize, but who change our life. They are not from fairy tales, because they tell lies and far from perfect. They can be ignorant, outspoken, even obnoxious at times but they don't lie about their feelings. The Ignorant Angels are all those who live in the open, who live their feelings, and are not afraid to manifest them. They are the people who speak outright, who live their own contradictions and who ignore the strategies. Often they pass for ignorant, because they seem boorish, and intrusive for their lack of good manners. But they are also very often fairies, because they are capable of performing the miracle of overwhelming us. Forcing us to make a change in our life. I do hope there is a season two as I miss them already.

I just finished watching this. I have watched several of Oztepek's films and love his work (bias?) This is no exception.

The celebration of life (even in death) and the true connections and bonds between people are so beautifully painted that I cried and laughed many times during every episode.

A cast of several queer and "non-conforming" (for lack of a better word) people are beautifully portrayed and their challenges in life are dealt with love and a deep understanding for the challenges we meet out there. Strength comes from unusual places and is in no way contradictory to vulnerability. The lipstick scene is priceless.

Then there's the language (watch the original with subtitles), all the Italian dialects, the Turkish (which is beautiful but I don't understand it), the cinematography, the attention to details, great acting, and yes, Ozpetek's amazing direction.

I truly enjoyed having more than the movie-time to get to know the various fates of these characters. Amazing show.

This series was absolutely beautiful. The cinematography, the acting, the music choices, you feel all the passion and all the ups and downs, all the torment. The flt is interesting and unique (and now I need to see the original film!). At its heart, what I love best is its humanity. Each of the characters is on a journey, is human. The way they interact and are on a journey together is also so interesting and beautiful. The acting is amazing, but the cinematography combined with the music in particular just had me overwhelmed. I sincerely hope they are able to do a second season of this series to show us what happens with all the open plot lines. Highly recommend.
