Year: 2009 Director: Gabriele Muccino
Distribution: Medusa
In yet Kiss Gabriele Muccino, there is a scene that encompasses the whole soul of the film. That is one of five people who return to the fountain that had seen them excited and ready for a new start in The Last Kiss, and now they find no water. Well, this is the effect that the viewer does kiss me again. The wait to find out what happened to the lives of the protagonists in The Last Kiss is so great, but it pays off and ends up disappointing as a missed opportunity.
Moreover, Gabriele Muccino launches into a challenge in itself quite complicated. To resume his old characters in a film after ten years. Before him, only great masters like Truffaut and Rohmer had succeeded in that goal, so it is understandable the stale air from performance anxiety that can breathe a little 'for the duration.
Anyway, Kiss still finds the couples formed by Charles and Julia, the constant search for balance, Marco and Veronica, in crisis because of the lack of a child, Livia and Paul, who try to stay together despite the severe pathology of him and friends and Alberto Adriano, looking for a place in the world . Between anxiety, racing (in hospital), screams, cries and passionate kisses, the characters come to the same awareness about life ...
The rhythm is there, and as always, even excessive. Why director Gabriele Muccino is able to entertain the audience and now his skill behind the camera is known to occur, especially after the experiences of Hollywood. Unfortunately the script is to be the weak point of this production. Too many naive in the script, too many narrative elements thrown in without interruption. And perhaps, too many characters, that after all this time do not seem to be completed at all. Unlike The Last Kiss, Kiss is still more collective, but there is a good conductor capable of directing the entire line for its duration. Two and a half hours: too long. Muccino also that, as mentioned, is one who knows his job well done.
Not a bad movie, also saved by a cast in a state of grace. But certainly not the consecration of Gabriele Muccino now that we expected. Returning to the image of the fountain: go see the movie hoping to see her again overflowing water, and instead you will find it dry.
