" (...) What makes men sociable is their own inability to bear solitude, and with it themselves. The emptiness and discomfort are the inner spring that pushes them both to the company, how to travel and distant lands . "(Schopenhauer, and in Parerga Paralipomena)
Years ago I read the essay by Zygmunt Bauman , theoretical liquid-modern society , I had enjoyed the fluidity of his writing, both have defined social relations unstructured and volatile feelings. This prompted me to watch the movies in competition at the 2010 Siff, Salento International Film Festival, produced low budget and totally independent.
Man without quality, proto man, that Musil had described, he also stopped having ties and suits the criteria of the market even with its privacy. (After the movie, I did not do nothing but talk about it, automatic thoughts, without even think so on). Relationships become products, goods exchange, and of course buy only if I "agree" if I return or replace in case of withdrawal. The emotions are just traps for mice, better to avoid them!
The result is an individualistic society, and to live a sentiment should be outside and inside at the same time (an impossible task, I've got tried for years with poor results). The other is an unknown factor to which it is best not to rely, rather a "report pocket easily controlled. The network, the Internet has greatly helped in this, just log and that's it: you in touch, but aside from my house. " When there's nothing that lasts, is the rapidity of change that can redeem yourself. "
Mario, is the melancholy portrait of a man trained incapacity to love, a doctrine that can result in both Don Giovanni that social alienation, while vibrating generous humanity. It is a forty
, operator ecological and pornodipendente Bolognese. In August, when the city became depopulated, he stays in town, finally alone: \u200b\u200bhis sister, in fact, brings on vacation forced the elderly mother after a stroke, on a wheelchair who normally looks after Mario and Olga, a nurse Romanian fifty years. A young mother will change this vicious vizioso.In house of Mario reigns an atmosphere of calm resignation, an addiction driven by guilt in the relationship with his mother, which prevents man from being an adult for all purposes and experiencing a mature sexuality.
Liquid Love, by reference to the relationships of people, because escaping liquid, ie unable to stand the test of time, made me also think of the liquid as semen, which flows into the sink, that's filthy hands, as in vomiting process when he discovers that the is the film that looks pedopornograico, as the sweat of his wet dreams, his daydreams, his "dud" when he faces a real woman. Fregni Stefano (Mario) in this is very good, as I wrote in Ciccio of A Place in the Sun .
him too unhappy to feel beautiful and she too good to be unhappy, meet in a bar, and looking with awkward shyness, but the writing of the film is incomplete and sometimes not up to Mario waiver of this story but the reasons , internal conflicts are not developed, with Viola Agatha, his daughter, awaits him for a day at sea, but after he purchases, preparation (the sheets with the princess and arms for Viola) will not get them. A liquid film with a protagonist who emphasizes the myth of the young child, his masterful blend of physicality and facial expressions make it in, asking for help, ashamed, touching dialogue with consuming trans sandwich and beer in front of the truck at night:
- "Tonight do not eat? "
- "I'm not hungry "
- "Why?"
- "I met a person "
Once again, proof that an independent film, to make good cinema, there is no need to spend vertiginous figures, only 15,000 €, in fact, the budgets.
tenderness and eroticism, a choice of courage, especially because this is the first work of Cattaneo, so forgive the scenes underdeveloped and indecisive. Long live the independent Italian cinema!
