Reviews

"In a production that combines strong sensual qualities with intellectual transparency, the historical drama portrays doubts and attempts to escape of a man who no longer believes in the political hope of the revolution, betrays his companions and tries in vain to return to his former bourgeois life."

Allonsanfan is a self-contained lyrical-dialectical work: wonderfully lyrical in the short pauses that interrupt the individual events ... and dialectical when the 'stones' of Matera and Castel Dei Monte represent feudal, poor Italy, which in contrast to the fertile Po Valley. The conflict between the old and the new is represented better than by words through carnival customs and wigs - as relics of the eighteenth century - also through insertions into the description of the individual acts of the revolutionaries. The alternately soft and sharply contoured images, of a peculiarly magical charm, bring the past to life: It is the romantic, melancholy Italy of Foscolo and the young Manzoni . Marcello Mastroianni, the impetuous Lea Massari, the delicate Mimsy Farmer… are the excellent actors who give a sensitive and memorable portrayal of their roles. "

- Pietro Bianchi , critic of the Italian daily "Il Giorno" (September 7, 1974)

“The Taviani brothers provide a remarkable picture of the restoration, showing a resigned hero who tries in vain to return to his old state. A lyrical film with magical images and impressive actors. "

Allonsanfàn tells of the beginnings of the Risorgimento , the year 1816 - but actually speaks about the student movement, about the year 1974. At that time, even the most daring enthusiasts realized that the change in society is more complicated and, above all, more protracted than previously thought . Allonsanfàn says: You are not alone, others before you felt the same way - and perhaps precisely because they asked all these questions, they were able to take things a step further. Because: Allonsanfàn also tells of the fact that the revolution always takes place after us - that is why it is also a utopia. "

Trivia

The song "Rabbia e Tarantella" from Morricone's soundtrack also accompanies the credits of Quentin Tarantino's film Inglourious Basterds (2009).
