In a good level edition, especially in the second part, and full of reality, news, biographies and gender fluid themes, there are many films in the running deserving palmares.

These are the opinions of the critics, both Italian and foreign, on the Ciak daily while the

CHIARA

by Susanna Nicchiarelli and

NO BEARS

by Jafar Panahi are missing.


    For the Italian critics the winner would already be there, and it would be Italian: that is to say,

BONES AND ALL

by Luca Guadagnino coming age cannibalist starring two cool youngsters, like Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet, struggling with identity problems, while for the the most voted foreign film is the Irish

THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN

by Martin McDonagh, grotesque and allegorical comedy noir with the extraordinary duet between Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, (friends / enemies) who is in second place in our local ranking.

Immediately after the Irish film among the favorites, on both sides,

SAINT HOMER

, which would be placed in a virtual second position.

It is a true story that shocked France in 2016 which later became a film thanks to newcomer Alice Diop.

On stage a Senegalese woman, accused of killing her fifteen-month-old daughter by abandoning her on a beach in northern France.


    Well placed, at least on the Italian front, is also a solid and poetic film between drama and comedy like

Kôji Fukada's

LOVE LIFE .


    The protagonist is Taeko, a serene and strong woman whose life apparently flows quietly next to her husband and little son Keita.

A happy family until a dramatic event, the sudden death of the child, causes her to return, during her funeral, to her biological father, of whom she had not heard from for years.

The latter is a deaf-mute man of Korean origin, now fallen from grace.


    In the race for the Italians then Gianni Amelio with

IL SIGNORE DELLE FORMICHE

, still a true fact, a posthumous rehabilitation work of the figure of the playwright and poet Aldo Braibanti, refined homosexual intellectual, accused at the end of the Sixties of plagiarism for having submitted to the will a young pupil of him.


    On a par with Amelio also a film that is also in the high ranking of foreigners.

This is

ARGENTINA

, a 1985 political drama, but not without irony, which tells the true story of the young lawyers Julio Strassera and Luis Moreno Ocampo, who dared to investigate the bloody military dictatorship that subjugated Argentina from 1976 to 1983. A race against time, bombs and death threats to bring justice to the victims of the "Junta Militar".

Filming was carried out in the places where the events took place.


    Finally, pay attention to

THE WHALE

starring Charlie who will weigh over 250 kilos and is thrown into the armchair of his house like a beached and dying whale (he has the pressure at 238/134).

Signed by Darren Aronofski and written by Samuel D. Hunter, it is a chamber film (based as it is on the Samuel D. Hunter play) with a few characters going in and out of his house including his beloved daughter Ellie.
