Trifole

I feel emotional, devastated, and hopeful all at once after this.

So many tonal shifts throughout the movie keep you engaged at all times, both fearful of what’s about to happen and enthusiastic about what’s currently happening. Literally went from depressed, to warm and fuzzy, to gut wrenchingly sad, then once again hopeful (or at least accepting) in the last 10 minutes. (However I am still not over you know what)

After finishing, I sat with it for a bit at the end, then went back and re-read the opening passage from Cesare Pavese’s “The Business of Living”. The whole process of reading it at the start and not fully appreciating it, to making it through this rollercoaster of a film, and going back to re-contextualize it again, is now one of my most fond movie watching experiences.

The film is acceptable and watchable, but for my taste, its pace is too slow and ends up boring the viewer: many scenes drag on unnecessarily and could easily be summed up in a few seconds. However, the quality and colour grading are very good, as is the acting.
