Kritika: Örökké fiatalok
It is this humanity that Fausto Brizzi recounts in his ninth feature film Forever Young, in which, after investigating the world of adolescents and the dynamics between the sexes, he stages a group of characters who think that denying the limits of their bodies due to advancing age is enough to define themselves as young.
So here is the woman close to fifty who, for lack of adequate human material, lets herself be tempted by an affair with a boy almost thirty years younger, only to realize that the love he has to give her is a bit sticky and embarrassing. Or the well-kept 50-year-old man who lives with a student but cheats on her with a woman half his age; with whom he shares memories, musical tastes and interests.
They are confused, in crisis, they have no reference points and in their attempt to keep up with a world that has already overcome them, they are also nice. The rapid development of technology, a society ruined by television, celebrities coupled with girls who could be their daughters or grandchildren led them to try.
In short, Forever Young is more than a satire of costume, (with a soundtrack that ranges from the Eighties with classics such as Total Eclipse of the Heart and Forever Young, in fact, to the Nineties with Alright by Supergrass ), is a pleasant film, perhaps the funniest film shot by the director, where you laugh a lot, thanks also to the excellent cameos of Riccardo Rossi and Nino Frassica, and a comedy situation well rendered by the excellent actors.
