Remake of the 1990 film by Giuseppe Tornatore.
In the original Italian, the main character was played by Matthew Dark Marcello Mastroianni.
underlying theme for both versions is the line between illusion and truth.
The plot is that of a man who, widowed, decides to visit his children (who live in cities far from home and far between) that, according to the stories always heard from his wife, believes people professionally established and humanely. The fact that the wait is quite different and, in both versions, the man discovers that his wife has always concealed the true facts not to disappoint the family's expectations.
Unlike other versions of the epilogue. Without revealing the ending, but you can not speak of what appears to be a profound deficiency in the film (in theaters in April) compared to the original 1990: the poetry of Tornatore and Mastroianni is unsurpassed because probably unsurpassed.
Although the interpretation of De Niro remains well-made, nevertheless the poetry and melancholy (but not in key nostalgic!) And Mastroianni, under the wise Tornatore guide, has made the character of the Sicilian father seventy, remains a treat for connoisseurs.
Attractions. Possibly both.
