Rishikim: Things From Another World
Cose dell'altra mondo is the third film by Campania director Francesco Patierno. The story is openly inspired by Sergio Arau and Yareli Arizmendi's A day without Mexicans (2004).
The idea is the same but the unfolding of the story is then clearly separated from the initial root. We are not in California but in Treviso, an industrious city in Northern Italy and the cyclical intertwining film opens and closes with the same sequence of a bull running away and a man who, regardless of the crowd, fires a rifle shot.
This man with a strong presence is the entrepreneur Mariso Golfetto (Diego Abatantuono), as well as director of a local television network, a personal space used to give vent to all his xenophobic views on immigrants,
Hostility towards immigrants is in the air and after the apocalypse invoked by the director in his umpteenth television speech, one day, magically, his request is heard and all unwelcome guests disappear, it seems forever, taken away. from a special storm.
The story of Mariso Golfetto is intertwined with that of Ariele (Valerio Mastandrea), a policeman with Roman roots who occasionally returns home to his mother with Alzheimer's. Still in love with his ex-partner Laura (Valentina Lodovini), a school teacher, at their first meeting he learns that now the woman is expecting a child from her new partner, an African boy. Initially determined to escape back to Rome, his love for Laura, still very strong, forces him to stay.
This is why the first part of the film is notably convincing, the faithful description of how things are today in Italy, as well as the strong dialogues in the Venetian dialect, which reach the viewer reminding him, between one laugh and another, that in the end people like Mariso Golfetto really exist.
However, the ending and the imprecise development of the three main characters are left to be desired; indefinite in some respects, they leave in the viewer a sense of incompleteness, perhaps wanted or perhaps not, which in the end undermines the whole work a bit.
