is a beautiful film that follows Francesca, a young actress, who mourns the death of her friend, and what she feels like might be the end of her relationship. She wishes to find a meaning in life again, and through it, happiness, but the journey is far from easy.
What started as a passionate fulfilling relationship
evolved into a lonely space where two people exist side by side, but never
share it together. Francesca confides with her therapist and admits that
whenever she wants to leave the house, she substitute that desire with being
intimate with her husband. Her husband isn’t blind to the situation and accuses
her of exchanging her serene and cheerful spirit with a melancholic one. After
Francesca’s friend dies, Francesca struggles to find a way to combat her fear
of death, feeling unable to reconcile with its role in life. Her husband and
her had drifted apart, and when her pain is answered with numbness, her sense
of loneliness increases.
Francesca finds refuge with her therapist, where she
can speak, be listened to, and not judged. Overtime, Francesca confuses that
feeling with intimate ones, and endangers the only place that allows her to be
herself. To her surprise, her therapist asks her to keep her distance since he
too finds himself facing the hard questions of life, and feeling trapped by the
fear of death. Meanwhile, her husband finds his own way to cope with their
problems…
Will Francesca face her fears? Will she change her
life and find happiness? And with who? You’ll have to watch to find out.
The film has a naturalistic style and focuses around
Francesca’s journey and its impact on those around her. The director emphasizes
the different chapters in the film by breaking them apart, and naming them,
thus specifying their role in the movie. He allows us into Francesca’s dreams,
so we can see her process from the most intimate point of view. The music
captures Francesca’s mood, and help navigates the plot. The cinematography is
carefully planned, and while I think there was room for improvement, it is easy
to see the thought behind it.
Simona di Sarno, who plays the lead, Francesca, does
so with such charm and talent and elevates the story to a whole new level. Her
fragility in the pursuit of answers, and letting go of the fear of death, is
enchanting and captivating. With a subtle touch, she manages to deliver a
powerful performance. Di Sarno’s act is supported by a talented cast which
includes Fabio Dessi who plays Fabio, the therapist; Riccardo Stellini who plays
her husband, Alessandro; and Gloria D’Osvaldo who plays her friend Sara.
The writer, director, editor, Mario Roccato ,did a
marvelous job. Roccato holds a degree in Philosophy and states he was always
drawn to photography. His other films had screened around the world, and no
doubt, this one will too.
‘Writing About a Love’ is a beautiful Italian film
that delves deep into issues concerning us all, and does so with a charming
style and elegance.

SCARICA LA SCENEGGIATURA
Two-faced tale
is the chronicle of a mutual betrayal that two spouses "happen" to experience. He, a well-known theatrical and cinematographic author, cannot resist the seductive charm of a colleague, while his wife, sensing what is happening, and taking advantage of the absence of her husband, throws herself into the arms of a mutual friend. The whole story is structured on the exchange of messages that the two - by mutual agreement - decided as the only source of their contacts during their short period of physical separation. The film, in many ways, is a synthesis of the problems of other films: the desire for erotic evasion, doubt, small and big lies that are necessary to maintain the ever unstable balance of love. Here the couple will eventually rediscover the underlying motives that hold it firmly together, before and beyond any evasion and betrayal.
The four films play the theme both from the psychological/psychoanalytic point of view, and from the more extensively philosophical one. They have the ambition to present themselves as "arthouse" films, and therefore of potential artistic prestige.
