| User ReviewSergio GSaw this great little story a couple of days ago. I didn't know in the beginning that this was an anime. I was pleasently surprised by this little gem. Showing Napoli in a contemporary yet traditional way. You will fall in love with the characters and their contradictions. A new take on the Neapolitan life philosophy infused with a Buddist scent. I would definitely reccommend it. |
| User ReviewFrancesco DA really heartwarming movie with a simple plot and even simpler message, but yet too underrated in our society. With an interesting character development and a real inspired voice acting, it's among my favourites animated movies, yet i can't give to it more than a 4 because of it's chaotic plot development and it's not always perfect animation, maybe a 3 1/2 would be even more appropriate, but i'm happy to give it an half star in more, for a movie that, in my heart, it's a 5 star experience. |
| User ReviewRodolfo dA very confused and muddled way of looking at life I suppose -- and I guess this is what the main character struggles with and tries to vent out in his frustrations. I agree with a lot of the philosophy in the film, such as the samsara and karma oriental perspectives and how they were played out with some of the characters' dialogue, but however well drawn this Italian version of Waking Life is, there's a deep connection that is missed between all of the characters and especially ironically the two brothers, which lands a very flat note for the total overall experience. I wouldn't watch it again, but I'd gladly scratch it off my list of "semi forgotten art movies of 2013" at the Italian Film Festival I was at (In the current year). |
