The Ignorant Angels

I have followed and loved Ozpetek's work for many years now (starting with His Secret Life / La Fate Ignoranti 2001) and this is the perfect expansion to his original film . . . Wonderful to see what was probably extended scenes and additional characters (and their relationships) explored and showcased; expanding the universe originally created by Ozpetek in His Secret Life . . . Making bolder and bigger choices - perfectly cast, directed and acted . . . Yet, the magic, in all of his storytelling and films, thrives from the music!! The Ignorant Fairies has one of the most beautiful scores, chalk full of original songs and music and now the TV Series, follows with perfect harmony with it's use of music - incredible score and soundtrack! It's been 20 years and to see all these incredible characters thrive and celebrate, in pain and confused, hurt, vulnerable and sharing joy and laughs - exuding love and forgiveness, is exactly what I need and I'm totally here for it!!

Pure, simple and lovely. Just I need more. A masterpiece about sexuality and diversity.

Everything writing like a poetic love stories.and a wonderful cast. Where everyone have something to show, mankind the audience just need know more about each of them.

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.

As a young adult, my watching experience has been vigorously interested by the story's flowing with grace and passion within a picturesque background and tasteful food&conversations.

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.
