Ultimo Bacio (L')

Product Information

Originariamente i protagonisti dovevano essere Kim Rossi Stuart e Claudia Pandolfi, ma sia l'uno che l'altra rifiutarono e il regista scelse Accorsi e la Mezzogiorno fra i quali in quel periodo era in corso una relazione anche nella vita reale. The actors in L'ultimo bacio give a memorable performance, especially Stefano Accorsi, who is at his charming best as Carlo. Giovanna Mezzogiorno portrays Giulia and brings depth and emotion to the character. Stefania Sandrelli plays Giulia's mother, who's going through her own set of troubles, with great honesty and humor. Con questo film si rivelò definitivamente una nuova generazione di attori, tutti più o meno coetanei, tra i quali Pierfrancesco Favino, fino ad allora sconosciuto [1] Accoglienza [ modifica | modifica wikitesto ]

The film is about the power of love, loyalty, and friendship, as well as the complexities of modern-day relationships. L'ultimo bacio explores the difficult choices people make when they have to choose between settling down and living their wildest dreams. The movie highlights how the pressures and expectations of society can force people to make difficult and life-altering decisions. The cinematography and lighting are first rate. These stunningly gorgeous Italian thespians are made even more resplendent than previously imaginable. Gabriele Muccino directs the film and seems to make every single shot count. You could take any still-frame from this movie and have a photograph to hang in an art gallery. impending parenthood and goes hunting for one last conquest. But familiarity does not breed contempt in a good-looking movie that takes a perceptive and often caustic look at the agonies and ecstasies of modern relationships. I pointed out the structural similarity to Paul Thomas Anderson's 1999 masterpiece, 'Magnolia'. However, there is more than just a passing resemblance. 'The Last Kiss' is obviously inspired by it's predecessor. It looks and sounds a great deal like that classic. The camera movement is energetic and dynamic. There are a ton of complex 'steadicam' scenes. The score is that anticipatory and frenetic string ensemble that allows us to flow from moment to moment as the editing shifts us from one storyline to another. In fact, the scores are so similar that I initially thought it had been borrowed. The way I see things, if you are going to emulate a film, you can't do much better than emulating 'Magnolia'.Nel cast del secondo film non figurano neanche Martina Stella, Stefania Sandrelli, Sergio Castellitto, Carmen Consoli, Ines Nobili, Piero Natoli e Vittorio Amandola (deceduti entrambi prima del sequel), Regina Orioli e Luigi Diberti; in compenso vengono aggiunti altri personaggi, interpretati da Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Primo Reggiani e Adriano Giannini, oltre a Vittoria Puccini che sostituisce, appunto, la Mezzogiorno nel ruolo di Giulia. L'ultimo bacio è un film del 2001 scritto e diretto da Gabriele Muccino, con Stefano Accorsi, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Stefania Sandrelli e Martina Stella nella sua prima apparizione cinematografica. The Last Kiss ( Italian: L'ultimo bacio [ˈlultimo ˈbaːtʃo]) is a 2001 Italian comedy-drama film written and directed by Gabriele Muccino. Il film avrebbe dovuto intitolarsi Non sono pensieri carini, ma il compositore della colonna sonora Paolo Buonvino fece ascoltare a Muccino un brano che stava arrangiando per Carmen Consoli, sua concittadina. Muccino volle subito adottarlo come tema del film e utilizzarne il titolo ( L'ultimo bacio, appunto) come titolo del film.

Giulia ( Giovanna Mezzogiorno) and Carlo ( Stefano Accorsi) have been happy together for three years, but Giulia's announcement that she is pregnant sends him into a secret panic. Terrified at his imminent entry into the adult world of irreversible responsibilities, Carlo finds himself tempted by a bewitching 18-year-old girl, Francesca ( Martina Stella), whom he meets by chance at a wedding. The possibility of one last youthful crazy fling before the impending prison of parenthood proves to be too attractive to resist. Carlo meets up with a former classmate named Marco, and their conversation triggers deeply buried feelings and memories about youth, passion, and adventure. Marco reveals that he is still living the same carefree life that they used to live, characterized by wild parties, drugs, and one-night stands.A quasi dieci anni dall'uscita del film che ne ha decretato il successo a livello nazionale ed europeo, nella primavera del 2009 sono iniziate le riprese di Baciami ancora, sequel del film. Il film è uscito il 29 gennaio 2010. Nel cast sono stati riconfermati Pierfrancesco Favino, Claudio Santamaria, Stefano Accorsi, Giorgio Pasotti, Sabrina Impacciatore, Marco Cocci e Daniela Piazza.

Nel film del 1990 Pierino torna a scuola, il protagonista e un suo compagno di classe assistono in una piazza di Roma alle riprese di un film chiamato proprio L'ultimo bacio.I've already mentioned the wonderful score, but I would also like to point out another lovely sound in this film... the Italian language. Never before have so many words been crammed into a two hour movie. It is a lovely language to behold. It sounds beautiful whether it is being whispered or screamed. I know it may seem a little meaningless to state such a thing, but I believe that a great film can be enjoyed with either the sound or the picture off. This film assuredly looks gorgeous, but it sounds even better!

There are many things to love about this film. Giovanna Mezzogiorno's performance is miraculous. The stories are poignantly truthful. The character arcs are rich and full and complete. The technical aspects of the film are immaculate. The resolution is satisfying and honest. You will cringe, you will laugh, you will be joyous and angry... this movie will take you on an emotional roller-coaster. You will almost feel Italian (If you aren't already). And the final few moments of the film will leave you smirking to yourself as you contemplate the resounding irony of it all. How cruel these directors can be! Carlo's premature midlife crisis is mirrored by Giulia's mum Anna (Stefania Sandrelli), who reacts to the news that she's to become a grandmother by leaving her dull hubby and igniting an old flame. Only in Italy would infidelity be a remedy for marital disharmony. But it's to writer/director But a short-term fling with Francesca comes with serious consequences that threaten to damage his three-year relationship with Giulia, who is expecting a baby girl. At the same time, it also dashes the idealistic hopes of Francesca, who dreams of a beautiful future with him. After a raucous quarrel in the night, Carlo goes to Francesca's house, where they have sex. However, the morning after, reality sinks on Carlo and the enormity of what he had done surfaces. But it is not easy for Giulia to forgive, or to trust him again. Personalmente ho qualche dubbio sui sequel. Soprattutto per un film come L'ultimo bacio che è rimasto così profondamente radicato nell'immaginario collettivo. Quando mi hanno parlato di un seguito ho avuto subito qualche dubbio. Ma avendo una grandissima stima per Gabriele Muccino ho chiesto di leggere un trattamento del film, perché mi sembra professionale conoscere la storia. Purtroppo quello che ho letto non mi ha convinto: non mi è piaciuto lo sviluppo del mio personaggio» Roma. Carlo, ventinovenne che aspetta un figlio dalla fidanzata Giulia, rimane incantato dalla sensuale innocenza di Francesca, un'effervescente ragazza di 18 anni conosciuta al matrimonio dell'amico Marco. Tra i due nasce una travolgente attrazione, con Giulia ignara di tutto e alle prese con i preparativi in vista della nascita della loro figlia. Nel frattempo, Adriano, in crisi con la moglie Livia, da cui ha avuto un figlio, medita di andarsene di casa.

Muccino's prowling, restless camera and insistence on underscoring every scene with lush mood music are annoying embellishments, and he could have tied up the various plot strands with less indulgence. Still, this is an intelligent and dark-edged romantic comedy that offers a bracing antidote to Love Actually's treacly sentiment. The film's motto is voiced by one of the characters: "We're not 20 anymore; but we're not 40 yet either, thank God." (Hey guys - it's really not that bad). In a sanitised upscale Roman suburb that would not look out of place in a TV ice-cream advert, Carlo (Stefano Accorsi, who made his name in a TV ice-cream advert) is getting cold feet. His girlfriend Giulia (rising diva Giovanna Mezzogiorno, who is Accorsi's real-life partner) is pregnant, and Carlo's just met a much younger girl at a party. His male friends are not much help: one already has a kid, and feels trapped; another is driven to distraction by a crumbling relationship and his family's expectation that he will take over his ailing father's religious souvenir business; a third is enviably single. Stars: Stefano Accorsi, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Stefania Sandrelli, Martina Stella, Giorgio Pasotti, Claudio Santamaria their own responsibilities by buying a camper van and running off to Africa - a proposition almost as tempting as the beautiful teenager Francesca (Martina Stella). Il film ha incassato 13 milioni di euro al botteghino (dati Cinetel), rimanendo per ben sei mesi nelle sale cinematografiche, fatto che nel cinema italiano non avveniva da tempo. Nel 2002 il film ottiene un buon successo anche all'estero, in particolare in Europa. Distribuito anche negli Stati Uniti durante l'estate successiva, è inserito dalla celebre rivista di cinema Entertainment Weekly tra i dieci migliori titoli dell'anno.
