Review of Finding Steve McQueen (2019) by Mauro_Lanari — 04 Jan 2020

(Mauro Lanari).

The director opts for an unconventionally modest style, does not flaunt anything and chooses a non-linear diegetic structure not as a subterfuge to tangle a stupidity, but to face in each timeline a different thematic level, from love story to family affections, from politics up to the "memento mori" of the clock inside the skull. Sparkling cast: besides Whitaker, also the supporting actors like the Australian Rachael Taylor who is a Nicole Kidman with 20 years less. In short, one of those enchanting films that, in the pandemic idiocy of our time, have no more market, neither supply nor demand, since they are no longer understandable by anyone.
