This Italian film, incorporated with Roman Polanski, is about a typical male business exec, who decides it’s best to ‘sit out’ while his company merges with an American group.
It’s out on DVD from the latest grouping of IFC releases. The film, called “Caos Calmo” in Italian, stars writer/producer/director/actor Nanni Moretti (a male) and actually, Valeria Golino (“Rain Man,” “Big Top Pee-Wee”), as Moretti’s neurotic sister-in-law.
To keep it brief, this movie was actually quite a roller-coaster from start to finish. Some of the scenes are amazing, while the film does kind of drag on. Megan asked at 1:30, roughly, “How long is this movie?” Honestly, it keeps up because some of the transitions are perfect and many scenes are good enough to stand on their own. Additionally, what might make it famous for years to come is the semi-unexpected, intense sex scene.
The only thing was The Polanski. His name pops up at the end of the film and you’re like, “I knew it!” He plays the American CEO, “Steiner.”
