A couple of new films released in Italy this week…<\/p>\n
Caos Calmo<\/strong> is the new Nanni Moretti film, and did pretty well at the festivals last year. Hardly surprising… it sounds like the kind of production that was put together to win awards as much as audiences. Moretti plays Pietro Paladini, a man whose wife has died in an accident, and details the ways in which he and his young daughter come to terms with their loss. I”m sure this is a fabulous film and all that, but it”s not really something I can get particularly excited about. The director is Antonello Grimaldi and it also stars Valeria Golino (who”s had a rather strange career), Vittorio Gassman”s kid Alessandro and Hippolyte Girardot (from Manon des sources <\/strong>and much, much more)<\/p>\n Caos calmo<\/strong>”s been doing pretty well at the box office (it was the top film last week), but Non c”e piu” niente da fare<\/strong> <\/strong>has only opened on a paltry 39 screens and has only taken just over 20,000 Euros. A comedy about an amateur theatre group whose members overcome the problems of their daily lives through acting and their desperate attempts to keep their theatre open, it”s directed by Emanuele Barresi and has a largely unfamiliar cast. One that”s unlikely to travel outside of Italy, I would suspect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A couple of new films released in Italy this week… Caos Calmo is the new Nanni Moretti film, and did pretty well at the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[32,174],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
