Autumn is the favourite season of cinema lovers. It iswhen summer ends, indeed, that the most long-awaited films of the year arereleased.
This year, too, in spite of the crisis of filmindustry and the cuts to the showbiz and to culture in general decided by theItalian government, the arrival of autumn has brought some very interestingfilm releases, also as far as Italian movies is concerned. In the last fewmonths some longed-for Italian movies have come out, from The Solitude ofPrime Numbers to Benvenuti al Sud.The first movie, which was presented during the Venice International FilmFestival, an event that takes place at the end of summer and that hosts manymovies which are going to reach the movie theatres, was very longed-for as itis taken from one of the best-known and most appreciated movies of the last fewyears, the first work of young physicist Paolo Giordano that has long toppedthe sales charts and managed to win the Strega Prize, one of the mostprestigious Italian literary awards. No wonder if the homonymous movie directedby Saverio Costanzo was long-awaited by both the critics and the millions ofreaders that have loved the book and familiarized with Alice and Mattia, thetwo main characters of the story that in the movie are interpreted by AlbaRohrwacher and Luca Marinelli.
Also Benvenuti al Sud is taken from another work,but in this case it is not the transposition of a book, but the remake of anamazingly successful French movie, Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis, which did very wellat the French box office describing the prejudices and differences between theNorth and the South of France with the typical comedy features. And this was asort of inspiration for the Italian film industry, which could make hundreds ofmovies describing the fights between North and South, as has already happenedmany times (like in the movie Tot, Peppino e... la malafemmina). The Italianversion of the movie, shot by Luca Miniero and starring Claudio Bisio, tellsthe story of a man from the North who is obliged to move to a village in theprovince of Naples. The success of the movie, along with the great deal ofideas that a subject like this gives, has convinced producers to realizeanother movie with reversed roles: the friend, coming from the South, of thecharacter played by Claudio Bisio will be obliged to move to the North.
Also the international film industry has proposed manyinteresting movies in the last few months: from Inception with Leonardo diCaprio to the sequel of Wall Street by Oliver Stone, 23 years after the firstmovie, Hollywood is showing the aces it has up its sleeve. And these are onlythe first movies of the season: until Christmas, another fertile period as faras film releases is concerned, we will have the chance to see many interestingmovies.
