Ammore e malavita

Un musical popular de terror, en el que no se puede dejar de apreciar el corazón y la buena intención creativa de retratar Nápoles y sus males con bonitos colores. Hay más asesinatos y disparos que en Gomorra, pero hay igual cantidad de bailes alegres, besos, sin tomarse a sí mismo muy en serio. El argumento y las caras y expresiones de los protagonistas parecen sacados de telenovela, pero el metraje, la cantidad de personajes y la producción más cara con grandes exteriores son de todo un largometraje. Una experiencia bizarra entre el placer culpable geek y el puro sufrimiento, apoyada por un importante déficit de sueño cuando la proyección se alargue hasta la madrugada. ¡Esta película no, no, no y no se puede acabar!

I believe that they had a positive atmosphere on set while filming, and most of the people involved had a great time. In many scenes, you can feel the immediate excitement of both the crew and the actors to be a part of it. It's a shame that the enchantment with the creative process prevented the authors from maintaining distance and professionalism. At times, you feel like you're watching a performance by an amateur group that adapted a play from their hometown, with families, friends, and local patriots in the audience. Everyone shines with satisfaction, but you notice the dead spots, the problematic acting, and the technical flaws. Love and Bullets is mostly undermined by the unwillingness to edit, so instead of being entertaining, the film drags painfully. This is also accompanied by the film's inability to find its own identity and define a style and stick to it. The elements of a crazy comedy and genre parody, which mock a mix of a soap opera and mafia drama, clash unhappily with the game of fate and bloody massacres, as well as with the awkward musical numbers. I can manage to give it a weak three-star rating, but I can't imagine what would make me want to repeat the experience. Overall impression: 50%. (29.04.2019)
