“Io ti aspetto, tutto il tempo che vuoi. Ma succederà prima o poi? ” This is the concise synopsis with which the story of two elusive lovers was presented at the Venice Film Festival.
An irresistible Louis Garrel and a quietly seductive Jasmine Trinca treat us to an enchanting dance, guided by a Nanni Moretti more romantic than ever. Together, the three invite us to discover a love larger than life itself, capable of transcending years and borders.
But this story of possible loves goes further, reminding us just how wonderful life can be when we leave trivialities behind. As Moretti himself puts it, this is a film about feelings and the need to give them a name: allowing them to surface, openly acknowledging how much others mean to us, and telling each other, without the slightest embarrassment, that we love one another.
Rumours of the Italian master’s possible retirement were met with a long ovation at the Venice Film Festival, a response that would be repeated at the San Sebastián Film Festival.
With his unmistakable touch, somewhere between nostalgia and a celebration of life, Nanni Moretti gives us a story that may be ordinary, perhaps even epic, but is always luminous, deeply human and tender. A film that will leave you walking out of the cinema with a gentle smile on your lips and a warm glow in your heart.
