Napoli at its best – a revelation

This is what I call a pretty perfect movie. Suspense, mystery, high drama, deep feelings and pictures and thoughts that will stay with you for a long time. The plot: After 40 years of absence, Felice returns to his hometown: Naples. He rediscovers the places, the codes of the city and a past that eats away at him.

Naples or Napoli is a city that has remained pretty much the same for the past decade or so. A very beautiful, complicated and yes, depending what your calling is – a very dangerous city.

Pierfrancesco Favone is the protagonist in Mario Martone’s beautiful tale of good and bad and life and death. What does Felice want in Naples after 40 years? Is he just here to visit his mother one more time before she dies or is there more to it?

Well, I won’t tell you but what I will tell you is: Pleas go and watch this movie.
