Last summer, when you zap on Sky Movies I accidentally "stumbled" in the film "a spectator". The cool colors, the scenes are sometimes too crude and realistic, usually I would take her to immediately change the channel, but something kept me from doing so. Fortunately. Apart from some details in addition to not liking me a little 'noisy', the kind of nudity Bobulova, which from my point of view as well as being unnecessary were quite disgusting (I do not understand why they have not shaved !), or type on the first floor while enjoying Catillon (which is not much a good show), or the ugly guys that grew Bobulova (which apart from making disgust were clearly failures), however I was saying, other than that, I loved the movie.
Directed incredible, fantastic, it seems to be in the film, instead of outside. Everything involves you, even the sound of spoons in the bar or the incessant rain that fell during the storm, you seem to live every detail in person. And the plot
beautiful, unusual, not at all obvious:
"Valeria, a young translator of nature solitary and deeply introspective, feels a secret passion, almost morbid, for Maximus, a medical researcher and his neighbor across the . She merely points out from his window what happens in front of the apartment, he spent most of his free time spying on his neighbor or to cross the street; this can happen without interfering with his life, avoiding any gesture or word that can imply a connection with him. The day Max left the apartment and moved from Turin to Rome, Valeria decides to follow him, leaving home and work without any hesitation, arrived in the capital, she manages to get hired as a typist by Flavia, wife of Massimo and undertook to write a book about her late husband. The work commitment which brings the two women are related Valeria to live in close contact with Massimo, partook of some stages of human life that has followed. He will take the first step in bringing together the two, but now that the distance that separated them was thinned until it was demolished, Valeria took the decision to return to Turin, avoiding emotional involvement that has never been used. "
None of the characters appear to live love. Flavia who takes refuge in memory of her late husband but not to live it fully with the history of Massimo. Valeria you just let go by guys with whom you feel attracted, to avoid the risk of being involved. Massimo that does not decide to take the license nor to leave the residence in which he lives. Although in the end he is the only one to change things, perhaps because most brave or maybe just to unconsciousness, Because the more superficial and irresponsible as a man. But both
Valeria Flavia reject the desperate attempts to make sense of the maximum of their lives and their love.
Who knows, maybe we have more women do not want to get involved, to put our lives and our hearts in the hands of a man who then, inevitably, disappoint us. And then when you finally find a bit 'of balance and a degree of independence, there cling with all our strength and we prefer to be "spectators" of a dream rather than the protagonists of a love that so we know where we will bring.
Last but certainly not for importance, the choice of Andrea Renzi, fits perfectly as an actor. I had never seen before, but I was deeply impressed and fascinated. Unbelievable expressiveness, two eyes and a look so beautiful and so intense as to make me short of breath. To say nothing of his voice and his accent charming and sensual. For the duration of the film I got lulled by his voice and I'm lost in her eyes. And really very good with his eyes only to express every sentiment and state of mind: the need for affection and acceptance when they look, almost pleadingly, Flavia, to passion when he looks more captivating and intriguing Valeria.
