In Italian cinemas from 9 November, Malarazza It is the second film by the young director Giovanni Virgilio.

It is in effect a universal story, that there is here presented: The story of the young Rosaria, mother of a fourteen year old boy, which, after being forced to marry because she was pregnant, It is constantly abused by her husband Tommasino Malarazza, a local boss almost fell into disrepair asking his wife even the few in the laundry earned money. It will not be easy for the woman to make the decision to leave home with his son, although there ready to help his brother Franco, transsexual forced into prostitution to make ends meet. Once free, But, the situation does not seem, then, so simple.

It strikes right away cynicism and extreme lucidity with which the director has staged the story of Rosaria. What we have before your eyes is what is called an angry film, particularly felt, a scream of pain that, But, at the same time, It is completely devoid of hope for a better future. Very well managed, about that, the locations: the beautiful city of Catania - all co-star of the feature film effects - proved the ideal setting for what we wanted to tell, thanks to its neighborhoods and its streets with old buildings but with a decadent, apparently neglected, but at the same time almost magnetic in their beauty. The same suburban life is well rendered on the screen even through music in this context and particularly guess to most scenes shot at night.

What less convinced of this work of John Virgil, in reality, from excessive television drama style (ma, however, the director said he would take a series of their own Malarazza), in addition to some inconsistency from the same script point of view, come, eg, problems that are resolved in an overly hasty (see Rosaria call at the police station after the killing of her husband) or a narrative trend sometimes discontinuous. And it's probably just the fact of wanting to create a series that is to imagine the film almost like a product designed for a different scope from the movie theater. da who, just, the impression that the work itself has been taken away a bit 'too much breath, it was placed against his will in a context not his, who, Consequently, can even narrow risultargli.

A little bad, But. From her, Malarazza It is certainly the fact of not being expired in a dangerous rhetoric or easy gooders. Given the subject matter, indeed, this is one of the most common mistakes that have ever been committed.
