Last Night of Amore

I was kind of disappointed. Overall it was an okay movie, but not great. The opening credits with the amazing soundtrack was really promosing (loved that song: Fate Tiptoes to a Party). However, I was pretty bored after an hour. The story didn't have any interesting turns. This story missed something to keep my attention. The movie could've been thirty minutes shorter as well. It felt like a crime drama that has been done numerous times before.

The acting, music and camerawork were great. The writing could have been better. Maybe my expectations were a little high after reading al the loving reviews.

I saw his interview and he recommended to watch it because it is a good movie...and he was right!

Good picture, rythm and characters. Enjoyable couple of hours of entertainment.

I liked the way the movie starts with the initial scene with only music. Milan by night looks gorgeous and fascinating in this film. A kind of Gotham City with an italian cop instead of batman.

Funny dialogues in some scenes with strong southern italian accent. Direct and powerful screenplay with some interesting flashes back and forward.

Franco, the protagonist, is a credible character and his trip to hell and back keeps you stuck to the screen.

Even if I'm Italian, I usually don't like italian thrillers so much. Well, this one is very, very different. It makes you feel you're inside the movie the whole time, even if there are not so many extraordinary special effects or chase scenes. You can feel from the very beginning it has a wonderful screenplay, great direction and excellent soundtrack.

Almost all actors (Favino and Caridi on top) are really amazing in their characters! I only wish some of them had used a less pronounced southern accent, or at least to have the subtitles, because some of the clips (fortunately not too many) are really hard to follow if you are not from Calabria or Sicily.

A wonderful opening sequence with stylistically typical writing and score - is this the return of the Poliziottesco? No, the hopeful nostalgics quickly hit the ground of reality, obviously that of our time. No tough 70s cop, a leading actor who, in my impression, initially embodies more of a RomCom prototype, for example. A deliberate break in style? In his role, he is semi-corrupt, disillusioned, tired of everyday life, battered, on the verge of becoming a "loser". So after a leisurely and not very meaningful 3/4 hour, i.e. A rather long span, I was ready to set my expectations back to zero for the sake of fairness, let's see what else happens, and suddenly the plot really picks up speed. The dynamics in the middle section are great cinema, the exciting follow-up in the episode no less thrilling. The makers' plan probably worked for me, hats off, a wonderful film with a great script.

Worth 2 hours of any ones time except Elon Musk, but he's not human. Don't understand why some reviews called it a Horror,(most likely AI done) not even a thriller but a suspense crime movie at it's best. Stunning intro scene I could watch every time my PC starts up. Don't love it, I'll refund the ticket, better still, Ill find a shrink in your location, IT'S THAT GOOD. Not going to explain the plot as thats just ruining anyones climax blip in their life. The sad thing about this movie and many like it is that they only come around once a year during 10 days in the form of the Italian International Film Fest. Just go and see it, and watch your back.
