A musical of freedom of

Diego Cineriflessi

One of the freest films seen on Italian screens in recent years comes from France. At 87 years old, Claude Lelouche seems to no longer need rules and spins flashes of life and fairy tales (as the title itself says on the big screen) without interruption. To this he adds musical moments in which the song steals the scene from the actors (it is no coincidence that the protagonist's daughter is played by Barbara Pravi, a well-known French singer) with more intimate moments and others that are more choral. Beautiful engaging songs that Lelouch integrates well into the development of the film. The story of a man who chooses to be so sincere and free that he can only live in solitude, living on momentary but true encounters who at the same time renounces his job as a lawyer and his relationships with the most divisive elements of his family seems to be the testament of a director who, after dozens of works, no longer abandons himself to either productive or artistic compromises. Of course the result loses its compactness and, perhaps due to a length that ultimately proves excessive, the message loses its incisiveness even if the most intimate musical moments are truly touching. The journey through some of the most recognizable places in France such as Avignon and Mont Saint-Michel works and the protagonist who gives himself without hesitation to the character and the director with that face that bears the signs of an intrinsic rebellious streak. Give him a chance. Read all
