El último de los Paradiso

Perfect music choices, high production values, sets and skillful actors in an otherwise average drama that appears to miss its point. The main character being somewhat of an antihero doesn't get much sympathy from me either. The premature plot twist too early makes the end of the film quite uninteresting and almost pointless. It may be the way the film was cut, or it's just as it is, a story that does well on a novel but not on a film.

It certainly has the look and feel of the old italian films in general and that gave a very positive vibe to me. It's not a new masterpiece though.

Only for beautiful photography & scenery of Italy Rating this movie 5.. as for story line there was nothing worth watching even the ending was not satisfying .. a daily soap series crunched into a movie ..

Netflix should be appreciated. They embraced a movie that is not for everyone. First of all, I think the movie got me in because I am Turkish. Because villagers, olives, agha order ... Everything is very familiar. Riccardo Scamarcio has done a great job. He believed in what he did. Deserves the award as a script or acting or producer. I wish I bought it even though it was Blu-ray edition.

An Italian drama based on real events. Not a love story completely takes a turn in the middle of the movie. It is about a married man whose mistress is the daughter of one of the lords of the town and the process of being discovered. Quality. The time spectacularly recreated. Good performances. Good effects on the few that are needed. He talks about the almost authoritarians of the people, the abuse of power, the repressed rebellions, the revenge. The only problem is that it has a good rhythm and after the middle it plummets and becomes slow and limp, making you lose interest at times. With a rather bittersweet interpretive ending, since they make you understand other things. Ideal to spend the afternoon.

A movie good enough for open minded people we're able to find on Netflix these days. We find quality acting. The movie is sometimes brutal. Original storytelling based on a true story ? The end is really weird though.
