Beautiful and distressing at the same time
cerebro84 16 January 2023

This movie is, for the admission of his on author, inspired to Crialese's childhood. I could
feel from the beginning to the end the difficulty of Andrea to accept his body, the inability
to watch himself on the mirror or to show himself shirtless in front of other. Some
amusement helps counterbalance the heaviness of the family situation, I'm referring to
the musical parts of the movie which are not only beautifully shot but help understanding
how the central character would like to be seen by others, in contrast to what he sees
looking at the mirror. Sure, this is not an action movie, you won't find a clear villain
(although certainly the father does not come out well) or an ending, yet it kept me glued
to the screen for the whole duration of the film.

No likeable character

Set in 1970s Rome, this movie follows a family going through a lot of things at the same
time: gender questioning from Adri (one of the kids), cheating from the husband,
depression from the mother. Though I get that going through all this would be hard for
any of them, none of the characters are likeable. Adri is putting every kid in danger,
because they decided that they were grown up enough and that their siblings and cousins
should follow their every steps. They have a very bad temper, and just seem to want to
watch the world burn. The bad temper could easily have been inherited from the father,
who is violent, and seems very much to put the whole family into a bad mood as soon as
he arrives home. He wants his kids to behave at all times, and his wife to be ok with him
cheating with his secretaries As for the wife she came from Spain and has a lot more

Emanuele Crialese creates a interesting yet uneven story about a mother

and children's relationship
chenp-54708 29 January 2023

Saw this back at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.

L'immensita is a story about the love between the character Clara and her children, set in
Rome in the '70s. Emanuele Crialese previous films has proven he has talent with
directing, production and narrative style as I have enjoyed his previous works.
Unfortunately while L'immensità is well performed from Penélope Cruz and extremely
colorful production and camerawork, the film suffers from an uneven tone and generic
narrative.

The narrative is pretty simple and each moment that happens was pretty predictable of
what steps it was heading for The tone of the film is the most confusing part as the film

A total fail
walidoo 14 January 2023

This movie is full of cliches about macho men beating up wives, raping them, cheating on
them and intolerant to the lgbtq people. I really tried to find an interest in this but every
new scene was a new disaster. Of course frivolous women are depicted positively and
divorcing is promoted as you can imagine. The only excuse that could be found for such
prejudiced vision is the fact that it's supposed to happens in the 1970s. But it can't
explain such ridiculous story which reminded me of "not without my daughter" in its
black and white way of praising mother-child relationship by demonizing father-family
ones.

I add a 2nd start for Penelope act.
