What works well in the movie is the light touch of the director in creating a simple story and modulating masterfully the amount of melodrama in it. Camera work is excellent, acting laid back and realistic. From a small town East of Milan, the man without gravity takes the plunge to a worldly fame after a complicated childhood. Will he enjoy it? There is a lot of Miracle in Milan by Vittorio de Sica: the simple logic of the main character, his apparent meekness, his upbringing without a father in a modest but disciplined house, and his progressive experience of a world where compromise and ambivalence is a daily occurrence. Worth seeing it, if you like magic realism.
