Review of Malena (2000) by Colin F — 30 Jul 2018
Oh how trained the world is to expect Hollywood plots, Hollywood characters and Hollywood endings. And from that superficial perspective seemingly all other movies are compared ... and consequently mistreated.
Malena is simply one of the greatest movies of all time!
An open honest poem of the mindset of a 13 year old boy; a perfect reflection of the the way a person is objectified depending on their situation; and a perfect illustration of how some find their inner strength, even adopting the persona of someone they otherwise would not want to be, if not for the needs of their circumstances.
Beautifully acted, perfectly timed, subtle and strong, and fantastic.
Cinematography. This movie has it all ... unless you are a Fast and Furious or a Tom and Jerry fan of course.
