LA RECENSIONE

50 km per hour. A beautiful road movie about the father-child relationship and the bond between brothers.

It begins with a nostalgia of youth, with C’è un giardino by Alberto Camerini, played in full!

Also in Un Aldo qualunque there was Gelato metropolitano... It seems that De Luigi likes the Harlequin of rock.

The film, among women, never met children, and the pretext of placing the father's ashes next to the mother, turns out to be both amusing and meditative.

The two mopeds, symbols of the film, are even lost in a ping pong match, a game in which Accorsi and De Luigi's characters were skilled since childhood.

Under the old ping pong table, the two find the stages of a material and symbolic journey, which also includes the movement of a cow.

The heart of the film is the family relationships, the father, Alessandro Haber, and the confidences made through letters read only after the father's death.

I highly recommend it to those who love films that are both funny and reflective.

It may not be on the level of C'è ancora domani, to which I gave 5 stars, but it definitely deserves 4 stars; personally, I find it superior to the nonetheless funny new work by Siani.

Fabio De Luigi is now also a good director, besides being an excellent actor for over 20 years.

Ps: I would appreciate criticisms, positive or negative, from those who have seen it.
