Description: After watching «La seduzione» I have left some strange dual sense : on the one hand, the rough, bold and even vulgar at all happened Di Leo (director of Being Twenty film) , on the other hand – too true. Yes , that’s right . In this picture, too much truth . I watched a lot of films on the theme of seduction of minors ( in fairness it should be noted that the actress who played ” Sicilian Lolita ” was twenty -something ), but far from all of them is able to make the viewer think . What are the features of the film “The Seduction ” ? I will try to uncover them during the review. So .

In the center of the plot – a man of mature age comes from Catania , by fate to fifteen years left the homeland and visited many countries around the world . Going back , he meets those who had known in his youth . Among them – his former classmate and beloved Katherine . As might be expected , both leaped feelings and seemed to love long- extinguished fire flared up . Settling into a new home of his old friend, not to part with it , Giuseppe soon learned that her daughter is . Unable to resist the young Wives , a man allows himself to be seduced and enjoy her company for as long as it does not personally convinced herself Katerina . Further , in accordance with the genre , followed by Shakespeare’s passion and a very dramatic ending. Of course, one of the main advantages of this – her character . Tension is rising not once, but gradually. The main action begins to unfold closer to the equator of the film. The image of Giuseppe – a man with an intelligent face and refined manners , it is impossible to recognize who he is later – the unbridled Lovelace , the hungry young female bodies . In fact, he destroyed the peaceful harmony in another house belonging to his former passion . The image of Catherine , a magnificent performance of Italian film star Lisa Gaston – a way typical of middle-aged women , experienced a midlife crisis in love and have not lost their charm under the authority of the time. She – a widow, and she has almost grown daughter , but it seems that Catherine did not see or do not want to see in it a sense of awakening . Maybe she does not want to admit that her daughter has grown at an unconscious level (the daughter – a potential rival to his mother ) , may be due to the fact that it is not sure of her (or his ? ) Future. However, her daughter is very smart, and , as the story shows , even selfish . Perhaps her actions related to the subconscious resentment at his mother because of her choice, in any case, one thing is clearly a transitional age did not stop . The image Graziella was very dramatic (which is , for example , the scene where she asks her mother in tears back Giuseppe ) . As for the other characters , the most noteworthy mate Giuseppe – jeweler Alfredo . Perhaps this is the most revealing image of Italian I’ve ever seen. However , for all its tragicomic , his character is still interesting Giuseppe , who in this film is assigned too unequivocal position . But the image of a girlfriend Catherine – Louise at Di Leo turned out , though bright, but somewhat blurred. Perhaps he should take her more time and space in the picture.

The film «La seduzione» can be attributed to the category of those who want to see after thinking about the obvious but important things such as age, human relationships , love, betrayal , and more. And incredibly sad and poignant saundtrekovuyu song by Rosa Balistreri , it seems you can listen endlessly …
