The last Prosecco





Italian crime story crossed with comedy. About nature, greed and wine.
The last Prosecco - successful Italian film
“Crime story crossed with comedy” – this description of the Italian film encouraged us to go to the cinema. We do not regret it. Inspector Stucky investigates a series of murders and the mysterious suicide of Desiderio Ancillotto, a count and winemaker.  The story unravels on the picturesque hills where Prosecco grapes are grown and recounts the conflict between greed and respect for the land and surrounding nature. 

Best Italian film in 2017

Desiderio Ancillotto wants to protect beautiful hills and to produce the best Prosecco in the region. On the horizon though there is a huge cement plant. And its manager who is killed by gunshots shortly after the theatrical death of the old count. Who wrote the symbolic sentence on the wall - "Dust you were and dust you will become again"? Half Italian, half Persian Stucky is a stubborn person and does not look for easy solutions. Looking for the murder (murders?) he discovers more and more of local mysteries. Till the very end one is focused on the thrilling story and can laugh from time to time listening to often funny and vigorous dialogs. 

Successful film adaptation 

The film is based on an Italian novel by Fulvio Ervas. We enjoyed it very much. We noticed however two inaccuracies – one with taxi plates from Rom (the action takes place elsewhere, in the Treviso province). And the second one with a strange walk to the nearby cemetery. Stucky leaves the castle during the day and arrives there when it is very dark. Well, it happens :).
Summa summarum 8/10.

DAU. Natasha - the most controversial film project at Berlinale 2020

DAU. Natasha - film works in Kharkiv, Ukraine - fot. Wikipedia.org   I have to confess I wasn’t aware of all the controversy the film DAU. Natasha had provoked when I decided to go for a screening of this film. The controversy had circled around the production of the DAU project - shot as 700 hours raw material from 2008 to 2011 on set in Kharkiv/Ukraine - as well as in particular the torture scene of the DAU.Natasha installment depicting a women forced to insert a bottle into her vagina. I’d dare to guess that Russian main regisseur  Ilya Khrzhanovsky deliberately choose to scandalize his DAU-films and its production on set as a kind of shock advertisement. Khrzhanovsky might have followed a trick often used by Vladimir Sorokin , the Russian playwright initially involved into his DAU project but parting soon over differences. However it was, let me write down, why I (dis)liked that film. DAU. Natasha - grandest cinematic experiment in Russia The ...

Ghost Mountaineer (Must Alpinist)

Must Alpininst - Ghost Mountaineer   How to get surprised by good films from distant places? The easiest way is asking locals for tips when you are there. This wasn’t possible this time, but a friend of us happened to be in Tallinn for few days. “There is a good DVD department, go there - Paul told   him after having written down his want-list. - And then ask the shop assistant what he/she would suggest in addition to that list”. “And you really will pay for that all, not knowing what he'll suggest?" - our friend asked puzzled. “Yes, don’t worry! - Paul said. This is how we got Ghost Mountaineer (Must Alpinist - in Estonian).  That film was an excellent choice. Thanks to that unknown shop assistant!  And to our friend! Film from Estonia about Siberia in the 80. The film starts with some brownish amateur pictures and a women voice from the off. First we were not sure whether it's a documentary or a feature film. It turned out to be a mix, with ...

Wolkenbruch – a successful Swiss comedy among the Jewish minority

Wolkenbruch - a successful Swiss  comedy When Paul was a boy his parents often drove via Zurich to Bern. The quickest way coming from the South passed through the so called Kreis 3. Especially on Saturdays this calm and seemingly boring part of Zurich turned into a different place. Bearded men with long black coats and big hats were walking around. – Who are they? – Paul asked his parents. – They are going to their church service – explained his mother. – Church, on Saturday? – Paul wondered.  Wolkenbruch - best Swiss film 2018 Almost forty years later, during our visit to Switzerland, the biggest cinema hit is called “Wolkenbruch”. The film staged exactly in this part of the city is a love story.
