Apart from the fact that Baaria is boring and far from other Tornatore's successful films, I would like to focus on the fact that in 2009 a director like him allows the murder of an animal just to shoot a vivid scene. A cow gets hit with an awl in the head, and then it is left bleeding on the floor; this scene, as the director admitted, was shot in Tunisia where killing animals on screen is allowed. This is absurd and I hope the audience will refuse this movie due to the choice of the director. I truly hope it will not be released in many countries, because of that. A cow gets killed there. If you love animals, don't even look at the poster of Baaria. Thanks.

In this documentary, Carlo's mother tells the story of his son, of the day he died, and the events that took place in Genova during the G8. Her words are obviously a moving and confused attempt to remember Carlo as a peaceful, lovely guy who would have refused any violent action. We know this is wrong, just like the official reconstruction of the events. Police made mistakes, of course, but Carlo was in the riots. You should face the facts and just have your own ideas without getting the influence of what the woman tells in the interview. The very interesting content of this movie, on the other hand, is the filmed events of that day, collected with accuracy. And I think it's worth watching them.

In this bittersweet comedy, Pozzetto is a rich man obsessed by the idea of becoming poor. So, his psychiatric suggests him to leave home and live just like a poor man for some days. He will then become familiar with this way of living, and fear less the idea of becoming poor. So he does, and his old family & friends soon forget about him. They don't miss him at all. On the other hand, throughout the obstacles he meets a wonderful girl & a real good friend. So he discovers that having money doesn't mean you're really "rich", and begins to change his mind about the life he really wants to live.

A good movie, a great Pozzetto.
