The film is a simple love story reminiscent of stories like The Notebook released in 2004. Sylvie and Robert are rarely actually together in the film, however; time and circumstance keep them away from each other, and the audience waits with bated breath to see them find one another over and over.
A Christmas tale that everyone is wishing for, and that everyone will remember.
A short film that begins with the language of romance but slowly reveals something far more unsettling beneath the surface.
Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.
“To be universal, you have to get specific”: while the film does not attempt to provoke discussions about queerness or race, those watching closely may find something resonant in Sorrentino’s love letter to the Naples of his youth.
