The review – The Final will be the last of Massimiliano Bruno with Paola Cortellesi, Alessandro Gassman and Fabrizio Bentivoglio, Italy 2015, 103’

In the theatrical release 12 November

The cast is a guarantee. If then the script has been cured by the same Cortellesi the film has a better chance. The actress says the film's release across gloating: You were not expecting, and'? It 's true Paola Cortellesi has accustomed us to light the characters though sometimes fragile as his penultimate role under a lucky star and with Carlo Verdone. The years of crisis slant these good young actress into a more challenging strand resulting in tarnish as good Alessandro Gassman which are congenial dramatic roles (Ethnicity Bastard and Our Boys). The couple unlucky Cortellesi – Gassman is complemented by the parallel story of Fabrizio Bentivoglio. He, too, a loser in the shoes of a policeman relegated in a small town in the hinterland of Lazio near Rome. The skilful mixture between the scapestrato Stefano (Gassman) and condescending wife Luciana (Cortellesi), holding the economic fortunes of the pair, It is well dosed and naturally steers the story to an unexpected epilogue. Perhaps the real flaw of the narrative is to have wanted to enter at all cost too many social issues. The Luciana job loss, gender diversity of "hairdresser" of the village, bullying cops colleagues Zanotto (Fabrizio Bentivoglio). The transposition theatrical opera film that succeeds well and it does not suffer from its genesis. The audience appreciates chosen the appropriate music for different situations in which history meets. After all the issues are similar to those debated Virzi The Human Capital, but treated with a different and compelling language. Surely some detractors turn up their noses to the use of Roman dialect, but I assure you it is a touch of color that gives strength to the director's message. Our Lord said that the last shall be first, but he did not say exactly when!
