At home everyone is fine, put like this and with the signature of Gabriele Muccino, there is little to congratulate.
The director of Come you no one ever, The Last Kiss, The Pursuit of Happiness, The Most Beautiful Years, transforms his 2018 film of the same name for TV, making his first series, which premiered at the Rome Festival and then will be in December on Sky (and streaming on Now) and even with the medium of TV he remains faithful to himself in telling what he has always done, personal relationships and especially family ones, which are always conflicting, torn, tangled , restless.
The family as an eternal ring, "I will never be able to finish telling it - the Roman director replies to ANSA - in all its forms, darker and milder, because it is the history of man at the base of everything and if not already cultivated aggression, violence, cannibalism there, we would live in a world without conflicts. Instead we have a chronic forgetfulness, a compulsion to repeat, we never learn and so the family continues to be, even the extended one, a theater of conflictual dynamics, as we Chekhov, Bergman and even Shakespeare have told ".
There is a note of crime, original in Muccino's filmography, to further intrigue the story that starts from a patriarchal family, with secrets, envy, betrayals, loves to tell a whole universe around it, with archetypal characters. Different from cinema to TV, the cast of the eight episodes (Muccino already speaks of the second season), is gigantic between well-known names and young talents, for what is a great family fresco: Laura Morante and Francesco Acquaroli lead the cast in the roles of Alba and Pietro Ristuccia, owners of the San Pietro restaurant in Rome, and parents of Carlo, Sara and Paolo played respectively by Francesco Scianna, Silvia D'Amico and Simone Liberati. Euridice Axen is Elettra, Carlo's ex-wife, while the newcomer Sveva Mariani plays Luna, the couple's daughter, linked to Manuel, the cook of the San Pietro,played by Francesco Martino. In the role of Ginevra, Carlo's current partner, Laura Adriani. Antonio Folletto is Sara's partner, Diego. Paola Sotgiu plays Maria Mariani, sister of Pietro and mother of Sandro and Riccardo Mariani, played by Valerio Aprea and Alessio Moneta. Muccino after The Most Beautiful Years still wanted actress Emma Marrone, who plays Riccardo's partner, Luana, in advanced pregnancy while Milena Mancini is Beatrice, Sandro's partner. Jovanotti, in his third collaboration with the director, is the author of the theme song for the series, whose soundtrack is signed by Paolo Buonvino. "Already while I was shooting A casa tutti bene, which was a great success then in 2018, I said with the actors, it can't end like this, we should do a series, and so it went,because the characters that are told are all of us, they are true, authentic, painful, they have an empathic capacity ", underlines Muccino who has always relied on emotions and" belly "to tell about humanity, a humanity that is never pacified. by chance his own actors, like today Liberati, define "Mucciniani". And it doesn't matter if it's TV, "because I shot eight episodes as if they were four feature films, remaining faithful to my personal language".And it doesn't matter if it's TV, "because I shot eight episodes as if they were four feature films, staying true to my personal language".And it doesn't matter if it's TV, "because I shot eight episodes as if they were four feature films, staying true to my personal language".
