Reviews
After losing WWII; Italy was broken and in ruins; so movie creators like Rosellini, De Sica, Fellini, Visconti and even Pasolini and Leonoe among others, instead of apologizing or blaming somebody else on the war; decided to reflect (and sometimes magnify ) people's misery. The main characteristic were stories based on lower class people; long takes with little going on, natural wide space scenery, daylight, non professional actors (sometimes really strange faces) and mostly sad music.
It was called NEO-REALISM and it certainly change Italy's image on the word; becoming a victim not a defeated country.
It is important to understand that Italians are the greater marketers in the world. The claim the pasta as their invention even when Marco Polo brought it from China. The pizza in Italy; is perhaps the worst I even tasted (and tried several times) and most of the "proclaimed" monuments; like the COLISEUM are bad reconstructions of the originals (marble of the original building was took out by kings and high society for their own palaces; and if you want to see real Roman ruins; go to Spain or Germany; there is almost nothing original in Italy. The most clear example is the Romeo and Juliet balcony in Verona. It is museum and a tourist attraction. If you are not familiar; Shakespeare (a British) wrote the play Romeo and Juliet taking place on Verona; but he never set foot in Italy and it is based on an ancient Greek poem; so even if they existed; it not likely ever been nearby Verona much less in that balcony. After the introduction; let's go to the movie itself. TALE OF TALES (the movie) was marketed as European big budget production on a classic tale modernized for 21 century people. While part is true; Matteo Garrone follow the NEO-REALISTIC style; as he did in his successful Gomorrah; combined with modern elements like elaborated special effects. The problem is that Gomorrah was near a documentary and realism was the force of the movie. This is just a tale for kids; so it has to be fantastical and fun. There are beautiful real scenarios; plenty of daylight, lots of strange faces, some mythical creatures , (and a giant flee), a touch of sex (some nudity is Fellini style so be prepared); but also very slow pace, un-relatable characters and not very well written adaptation that made most of the plots uninteresting . Basically; the mix was way wrong but perhaps better editing more attention to the characters instead of images; could have helped. Salma Hayek as the cruel and obsessive Queen is perhaps the only one acceptable and able to really act. Vincent Cassel (a great actor ) is really wasted and Toby Jones (another great actor) is basically lost in a character that does not sense he obviously did not find a way to make it better. In brief; nice visuals but boring and not interesting.
