Boris - Il film

This review is biased, cause I love the show, it's my favorite italian series. It's timeless and hilarious and tragic, and its success can be attributed both to witty and comically sharp writing and to how much the bleak absurdity resonates with people that watch it. Now the movie is basically an entire season compressed in 100 minutes, and the theme is movies instead of tv, so the meta narrative keeps going. Italian cinema suffers just as much as tv for its dry and unappealing offerings. It's not a movie that can be watch separately from the show, which is maybe a waste of opportunity. The story is basically the continuation of the series, and it doesn't waste any time putting you up to speed. The pacing of the story is a little strange, might have been better structured. The plot itself is very much a repetition of the plot of the last season, but with enough different ideas to justify its existence. Not much to say, really: it's very much part of the Boris canon, and if you liked the show you'd like this movie, if you hated the show stay away from this movie at all costs. The cinematography is more sophisticated than the show, the actors are still on their A game, there are a lot of jokes and memes and creativity. All in all a very good movie, and the best conclusion of the show. No, season 4 doesn't exist, I reject it, sorry.
