剧情介绍
In the spirit of Commedia all’italiana, well-known Italian actor and director Sergio Rubini has come up with a bittersweet tale of the frustrations of a man who refuses to live his ordinary life, incorporating his own reflection on the relative value of critiques on art.
Gabriele Rossetti returns to southern Italy to say a last farewell to his father, a former stationmaster in a small town not far from Bari. The old man reawakens in him memories of his childhood, of his loving and beautiful mother and fun-seeking uncle, his friends, but also of his father's irascibility and exasperation over his thwarted attempts to realize his artistic ambitions. Ernesto was convinced he was destined to become a famous painter and was willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of his beloved masters and for his belief in his own talent, even his own pride - and this his son cannot accept, determined that he won't turn out like his father. It is only now that, years later, through chance and circumstances, Gabriele begins to understand Ernesto and to see what sort of person his father really was.
影片充满想像力与色彩。用喜剧讲述一个悲剧的故事。 讲述自己充满想象的童年，父亲梦想的破灭，婚姻的迷思，讽刺了那些“高雅”的所谓专家，贵族。同时也是对深渊里面不见天日的人们的平反！
对摆脱庸常生活的渴望，与父亲的和解，很可能是导演的自传式作品，魔幻现实主义（包括美术馆和对塞尚肖像画的临摹）
喜欢喜欢。。不过如果是自己看的话估计就忍不住去按快进了。。
在米兰飞纽约的飞机上看的 明明知道艺术圈能成名的少之又少 但每次看到落魄的艺术家心里还是会难受
