The film ends on a slightly too simplistic, almost crass note regarding that point, but it cannot take away from its overall highly sensitive and formally rigorous exploration of nostalgia and of the other, different relationships people can afford to have with their past. Read full review

Martone’s depiction of crime is at once expressive and economic, a world of danger boiled down to pregnant pauses and minute gestures. Read full review

Normally film is considered a director’s medium, but this one belongs to cinematographer Paolo Carnera. The footage of Felice rediscovering Naples is nothing short of stunning. Martone wisely understands that he has three resources in Nostalgia that other filmmakers do not: Carnera’s eye, Favino’s acting ability to quietly emote with no wasted motion, and a city that is heartbreakingly beautiful to behold.

As the two men circle each other in the film’s second half, it shifts from contemplative drama to full-blown suspenseful thriller. It is in the latter mode that Mantone shines best as a filmmaker and Pierfrancesco Favino does as an actor. Read full review

The feeling of nostalgia is perhaps overstressed, and the pacing is odd. But the tension created as foolish Felice drifts into a trap of his own making is magnetic. Read full review

With a formidable cast, assured direction and skillful camerawork, Nostalgia proves to be a surprisingly absorbing film. Read full review

This is cinema! It has everything and more. Like a more realistic view on crime. On old age. It lifts up a part of the veil of evil, and shows the outcome of different choises. If you have parents, this is a movie for you. Or take them along... A very humane film, never boring like AftersunThis is cinema! It has everything and more. Like a more realistic view on crime. On old age. It lifts up a part of the veil of evil, and shows the outcome of different choises. If you have parents, this is a movie for you. Or take them along... A very humane film, never boring like Aftersun that gets higher ratings, zealous but never mucous. And a little bit of music, although I was so immerged in the story I cant say if there was more. You should be on your way to the theater already, before the movie disapears again.… Expand

Basicamente, Felice é um homem do mundo, empresário bem sucedido, que retorna ao lar com uma série de sentimentos dúbios. O melhor do filme é justamente o olhar perdido de Felice, mostrando a confusão de sentimentos contidos. Não sabemos exatamente o que se passa na cabeça dele ao retornar à cidade natal, ao cuidar da mãe, po exemplo, seria uma espécie de reparação? De felicidade por mostrar-se útil? De sentimento de culpa por anos afastados?
Assim, o filme não explica exatamente os sentimentos do protagonista, o que o torna bem interessante e instigante, ao mesmo tempo que confere um peso a mais na sua interpretação. Decidido a encontrar um amigo de infância, com o qual tivera um passado que navegava por comportamentos marginais, Felice vai até becos e ruas estranhas, fala com moradores nativos, padres (a influência cristã aqui é notada fortemente, como na arquitetura que embelezam as locações), antigos conhecidos.
A todo momento o roteiro nos alerta do perigo iminente, seja incendiando sua moto, seja em falas de alertas, ou mesmo na trilha sonora. E aí cabe a pergunta: por quê? Qual o objetivo?
De novo o roteiro acertadamente mantem o suspense, mesmo que apresente algumas explicações ligadas ao passado, o ar de mistério e da atuação contida segura o que há de melhor na trama.
Por mais que o desfecho seja convencional, com um clímax morno, achei um filme gostoso de assistir, entretém durante sua projeção, mesmo não sendo tão marcante quanto poderia ser. Nostalgia faz juz ao roteiro, e é algo que nos move de forma mais instintiva do que puramente racional, de modo que, como um todo, toda a história, sob esse ponto de vista, faz muito sentido.… Expand

Mario Mattone (="Brick") builds another low wall of his fluctuating career: unable to hit two films in a row, and since the previous one was at least decent, I was seized by fear and trembling for "Nostalgia", the fruition of which I duly postponed to this period of Lenten penance. My skepticism has been farsighted: he dreamed of being Proust, he has woken up in Merola's shoes.… Expand
