Quiet Chaos

I use to practice my Italian. Story line ok.

Watching this film was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed everything about it, not the least that it's set in Italy and, of course, the characters speak Italian. Terrific acting. I particularly enjoyed the fact that the male leads don't look like "movie stars", just ordinary folks.

I thought this was another great film involving Nanni Moretti taking a critical look at modern life.

great movie, easy to follow, very interesting story. Recommendable, has an erotic chapter that may be a bit too much for some people but you can always fast forward.

A very interesting movie.

Good look at grief and re-examining ones life and priorities. What is important in your relationships, in work, in life? How do you really connect with people? All in a quirky movie mostly set in a park.(The sex scene was not required and adds nothing to the movie. Otherwise it all works really well.)

This film, based on a book, Quiet Chaos includes a main theme of grief, as a man and his brother, who ironically saves the life of two women at the beach and learns his own wife has died. There isn't this impending doom and grief for the wife, but how he deals with his life and his 10 year-old daughter. We do learn from his sister-in-law that there was not an abounding love for his wife. In retrospect, when he sees his wife has died, he doesn't even go to her body, not even go near her.So, we wonder, what is he grieving? Is it guilt? Is it guilt that his daughter is motherless?Most of the scenes are outside in the park as an executive Pietro waits and watches over his daughter as she attends school. He is a fixture at the park, getting to know the regulars, and he even conducts business in the park. His company is in the midst of a big merger.Not much happens, except a steamy sex scene where he goes all out during this grieving stage. If there are young'uns in the room, send them elsewhere.As, I said, nothing really happens here. It drug on too long and I couldn't decided where his grief is? And much more unanswered questions. One cannot grasp grieving, and how can we, when we know nothing of the wife. Where is the connection to grieving. We do know that he feels that by his not grieving was an indication that the daughter was not grieving also.Again, this film drug on and on; nothing meaningful occurs; nothing to grab onto; no connection to grieving..... Skip it! Rizzo

A next story of "the rich cry too".A rescuer-BMW owner is thanked in an emotional scene by the rescued while his sacrificing for growing daughter was a waste of a life, time and a self-indulgency only.Nothing real but drug use, adult theming and capricious mood of dad's sons well-hilled.

Fantastic

premetto che amo molto nanni moretti, sia come attore che come regista. però in questo film non credo che Nanni, proprio per come è, per la voce, la fisicità e il carattere (cioè come siamo abituati a vederlo nei suoi film), sia stata una buona scelta per interpretare il protagonista del libro.Il film è gradevole ma non è riescito a comunicarmi la malinconica ma anche a tratti allegra profondità del libro, che consiglio vivamente

Voy completando la colección de cine de este director/actor. Y esta es una película sensacional

Film gradevole e interessante. Una riflessione sulla vita da un punto di vista originale.Lascia riflettere su come la routine possa interromepersi in maniera repentina ed irrimediabile.

un film delicato e mai scadente nel ridicolo. affronta un tema doloroso in maniera direi orientale, con silenzio e attesa.
