A very good movie

When I saw this tremendous TV picture from Italy, I could not prevent myself to think about another Italian crime flick from the seventies and directed by the late and great Damiano Damiani - a film called La MOGLIE PIU BELLA - which told a very similar story, the fight between a lonely woman and the mafia. A hopeless fight, as you may guess. I have already said that no better than the Italians can tell such stories, so close to reality and so far from the Hollywood predictable juicy crap. It is so shame that this film has not been better released in my country, but it has been and that's a performance as an Italian TV movie. Italian features are not widely shown, modern movies I mean, not the oldies. I wish you will see it too.

Crime pays ... not

It is not always good to be inside a crime/mafia family. But it is not always a choice one makes ... it just happens to be something one is born or sucked into. Of course some make the effort to get out of it ... not alway succesful - not just because of the old saying, the harder you struggle the more you get sucked in ... but it is one of the ways to look at it.In this case we get a main character that really does her best ... and maybe that will be enough (watch to if you want the answer) ... a very intriguing thriller, with some powerful scenes, especially towards the end. Not everyones cup of tea, but well made.
