CinemAperitivo: Il primo giorno della mia vita [THE FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE] [OmeU]

IT, 2023, R: Paolo Genovese mit Toni Servillo, Valerio Mastandrea, Margherita Buy, 121 Min, Anschluss Aperitivo und Gespräch

Genovese plumbs the fiery subject of suicide without the necessary emotional resonance.

With Il primo giorno della mia vita Paolo Genovese returns to the metaphysical atmospheres of The Place, and here too the protagonists travel through Augè-like non-places like the place in that film: abandoned hotels, Hopperesque petrol stations, and all around a crumbling, almost dystopian Rome, often framed from above, as from the gaze of a distant god indifferent to the pains of humanity.
