The Ignorant Angels

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.

"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.

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.

Every kind of love... all the ways you love.

Player are very good, the movie is a triumph of magnetic gazes, music is engaging.

You'll fall in love with Antonia (Cristiana Capotondi) and Michele (Eduardo Scarpetta).

Don't miss it!!!

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.
