Over the weekend the vast offer of the 13th edition of the Festival OFFICIAL SELECTION He has ranged from disappointing Mexican film BAYONET of Kyzza Terrazas tells the story of Miguel "bayoneta" Galíndez former Mexican boxer who finds himself living in Finland. By day he works as a coach in a boxing gym, evening drinking alone in bars. In the film the protagonist is the obsession to destroy not only Miguel but also the story that tells nothing new and the viewer does not surprise. Perhaps the love for boxing Monda made him choose this film among many. Instead the tragic narrative BEAUTIFUL BOY American Felix Van Groeningen, in which the young actor Timothée Chalamet, nell'osannato seen film by Luca Guadagnino, finds its place as the son colpoisce toxic to the viewer stomach. The young Nic has a fragile character, a parental divorce behind him and an absent mother. From the outset it is clear that the main character is the substance around which the other co-stars: Nothing, the father who at all costs wants to save. It will be the stepmother to open the eyes to her husband that nothing can save. The narrative flows between various relapses, many lies and Nic have bottomed. Notable mention about the groups of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous who first developed in America where they found a safe haven many alcoholics and toxic.

A certain artistic value, although it has divided audiences and critics, It expresses the Brazilian film CHASING of Jeferson De, where the bright colors and the carioca music are the backdrop to a story of the past in an anonymous favela who want to rediscover the redemption of their lives. Some criticize that at such an important subject has given voice to a story in some light verses. But it is precisely in this ironic contradiction to the strength of the film, Since many laughs comes out always she said "poor but happy".

Among the documentaries on curiosity Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders in doc Daughters of the Sexual Revolution: the Untold Story of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Dana Adam Shapiro, Built in memory of the recently deceased director speaking of the traditions and customs of the Americans from the time of the assassination of JFK until the sale of the team to a wealthy Texas oilman

Certainly the most watched event and has rightly been FAHRENHEIT 11/9 the American film-maker Michael Moore gives

Always at the forefront in denouncing the distortions of power and the lack of democracy in America. We must confess that on other occasions we have an exaggerated provocation in director. In all honesty assembly, the described facts do not leave space to the words. It was not by chance that Trump has won against all reasonable forecast. What has been lacking and missing is DEMOCRACY. In the meeting close seguitissimo Moore has taken the concept saying among other things to pay attention that to destroy a democracy takes little, while it takes much effort to rebuild.

It was much awaited film by Barry Jenkins, it seems to repeat with the Oscar IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK . With a cast of highly respected among them KiKi Layne, Stephan James Colman Domingo and the film tells the 70s in Harlem in Manhattan. We talk about racism, love and many other things. Too bad such a beautiful script is in contrast to the sparkling choreography and costumes soap opera, such as "put" in prison Alonzo, said Fonny. Of course the style and the theatrical Broadway play and then it all comes back.

An extraordinary film that surprises for the language is AN IMPOSSIBLY SMALL OBJECT Dutch director David Verbeek. It is surprising because it is not the usual story of sex so dear to the Nordic filmmakers, but an intimate introspection of a Dutch photographer who finds himself unwillingly to dissect the feelings of a child in Taipei against a peer who will soon leave the country and moved with her parents to New York. There is talk in dreamlike manner of a kite from the sense of freedom, but so many of the new directorial cues with the use of pianosequenza.

As a minimalist style but equally enjoyable on the other Dutch filmmaker Rosanne Pel presenting LIGHT AS FEATHERS. In a rural setting in Poland where there is very little challenging for teens it develops the story of Eryk living in an environment for women and reflects the absence of a father that never was. History is repeating itself with her friend Klaudia who becomes pregnant.

Finally, the icing on the cake of the weekend was offered by THE OLD

MAN & THE GUN David Lowery in which a delicious Robert Redford that is undisturbed by weight of the years in his face in the interpretation of an American Arsenio Lupine: Forrest Tucker. True story of three serial robbers of a certain age who rob in a bloodless one hundred banks during their road map. It seems a moral actor's director testament that we love so much, and we wonder but it will be really his last film?

Until now along with documentary FAHRENHEIT 11/9 the American film-maker Michael Moore, THE OLD MAN & THE GUN David Lowery are the two best films. Unfortunately we can not confront as in other festivals on the likings of critics.

In the space NE ALL SPEAK, dedicated to some titles arriving at the Film Festival after a startling international debut THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST Desiree Akhavan talks about the situation of homosexuals in America in the 90s telling the young Cameron Post that is shipped in a religious center, God's Promise after being caught making out with a girl at the school dance. The theme is the difficulty to accept differences especially on the part of family members towards homosexuality and the proliferation of alleged "rescue centers" where the center is the non-acceptance. Films like hard BOY ERASED che è atteso lunedì dove il tema analogo si sposta su una figura maschile.

Unfortunately we were not able to see the animated film Funan Do the French Denis and historical film KURSK di Thomas Vinterberg, Belgium.

Of both will refer in the final comments at the end of festival. Good vision!
