Falla Girare
I don't know if it's to tighten a bond, to feel like the heirs of
'I soliti ignoti', but the passion of the Italian comedy strand, for
fucked-up criminals and a bit stupid, escapes me.
However, another example is 'Falla Girare', a dystopian comedy with
Giampaolo Morelli directing for the second time a feature film.
The good Morelli, based on a screenplay by Gianluca Ansanelli and Tito
Buffulini, directs an original story that wanders between crime and
action and martial arts films, in a dystopian context (very, very
dystopian as we see), putting in a series of gags that sound very
unfair in our days.
He jokes about autism, he jokes about the Chinese and people's
clichés and even about influencers (but the latter category does
not count) and he does it in a precise, unconstrained and above all
very funny way.
Just as funny is the entire first part of the film, which gets off to a
rocketing start and, in addition to the aforementioned gags, glides
along like a pleasure and has no slow or boring moments.
Probably caught up in the desire to astonish, Morelli does not move an
inch in the second half, thus becoming excessively repetitive, wasting
what was good before but making up for it, it must be said, in the
finale.
And this is a real pity, because in addition to the interesting and
original basic idea, all the protagonists also do their job, well,
creating characters that work. From Giovanni Esposito, who plays the
protagonist's autistic brother, to 'The Jackal' couple Fabio Balsamo
and Ciro Priello, passing, of course, through Morelli and the female
figure Laura Adriani, not forgetting the presence of Michele Placido.
We find ourselves in the future, not even too far away, where a virus
has wiped out all the hemp in the world. Except for a seedling that is
discovered by chance in the home of the influencer Natan (Morelli)
while Guglielmo Bonetti (Priello) is about to interview him.
From there on, a group is formed, also composed of the drug dealer
Oreste (Balsamo), Natan's brother Arturo (Esposito) and the infiltrated
policewoman Sara (Adriani).
