Muccino, my homage to Scola and the time

(by Francesco Gallo) (ANSA) - ROME, JAN 30 - Time, the true protagonist of Gabriele Muccino's 'Glianni più belli', grinds everything and not only the youthfulness. Grind the good intentions, ideals, relationships, (including family), to survive in the end only friendship and hope for a better future. Muccino's latest work, in the hall in 500 copies from 13 February with 01, a declared and equally melancholic tribute to Ettore Scola's 'We were so loved', tells precisely this, through the moving story of a group of friends, Giulio, Gemma , Paolo and Riccardo over 40 years (exactly from 1980 to today). A 'We were so loved' revisited, and with lots of words - including that of the dinner-repatriated of the three friends who are now fifty years old - which, however, has within it a generational gap: "Compared to that of Scola - says Rome today, Caffe - closed with a partisan song, here there is a generation that grew up in the shadow of those who preceded it, or rather a generation without the support of ideologies and with a strong identity complex crushed, as it was, by the history that preceded it ".
