The First Day of My Life

"The First Day of My Life" captivated me from the very beginning, like a spiritual successor to "The Place", solidifying Paolo Genovese's position as one of the most intriguing Italian directors of our time.

The plot of the film unfolds in an engaging manner, with brilliant actors bringing their characters to life in an exceptional way. The sharp and well-composed images capture the essence of the scenes and contribute to creating a deeper connection with the audience. The attention to detail is also reflected in the soundtrack, magnificently underscoring the emotions of the film's key moments.

"The First Day of My Life" is an emotional roller coaster...at times touching and moving, at times brutally realistic, the film is capable of addressing profound themes with a sincerity that leaves no one indifferent: the melancholy that pervades the film is an element that grants it a unique depth with a combination of moments of joy and yearning creating an emotional equilibrium that reflects the complexity of life itself.

If you enjoyed "The Place," you will undoubtedly appreciate it.
