My favorite film: "Il Ciclone"

Leonardo Pieraccioni - Il Ciclone

Who among us does not have a favorite movie that sees and sees so many times without ever getting tired? 

I love movies, especially comedies, without a complicated structure, but that make you think and    at the same time fail to make you smile.  

My favorite movie is " Il Ciclone " by Leonardo Pieraccioni , one of my favorite actors. In this film, grossing in 1996, he plays a Tuscan accountant, Levante Quarini, fully immersed in the life of his small town near Florence. One day his life changed thanks to a small but not insignificant "accident": due to the fall of the cartel indications of a farm , he will have to accommodate in his house  a company of flamenco dancers, including the beautiful Caterina. Levante falls in love the girl, after several attempts, due to its simplicity, will win the girl's heart, leaving everything and going to live in Spain to carry on a family with her.

One of the elements that makes this film captivating, is the typical atmosphere of the villages that Pieraccioni manages to convey, that good or bad each of us carries within himself during life, the grocer downstairs our house, the mechanical friend etc. . .  

The best thing however is the atypical nature of the figure of Levante : this movie is one of those few cases in which love triumphs between two "normal" people who do not look beautiful, no heroics, win their way of being, their human character .

Poignant is the ending, which leaves you printed a bitter smile , almost melancholy in revealing the identity of Gino , the "person" friendly,
humorous and wise at the right point to whom Levante was so bound.     

Obviously these are personal considerations, and not to everyone might like this kind of film; said this, however, I invite everyone to watch this movie and identify with the atypical context that this film manages to evoke.
