Mi querida cofradía (2018)
A film full of surprises
This Spanish comedy is full of tragic events...but all is well that ends well. A very enjoyable hour and a half, spent in the magic beauty of South Spain. It is a day before Easter parade, the most important event on the town's calendar, and nothing goes as expected... Highly recommended.
La mafia uccide solo d'estate (2013)
A comic look at the Cosa Nostra, politicians and the media
This is a surprisingly refreshing movie, which actually feels more like a documentary than a fictional movie. This is the story of Arturo, who was born and bred in Palermo in the 1970s and who lived through the Mafia assassinations of judges, policemen and politicians. Pif has managed to direct a very original film and found a funny way of telling a tragic story in a way that turns a documentary about Mafia killings into a heartwarming love story. Turning Alberto into a child journalist is funny and original way of telling the history of the struggle between the Mafia and the authorities in the bloody period, and the idea of turning tragic events into comedy was perhaps borrowed from "Life is Beautiful". Although not as good as the latter, I found this happy ending movie to be very entertaining and strongly recommend it.
