A sharp and clever take on classic genre conventions, this film explores how violence within relationships is often masked by the aesthetics of music and romance. But rather than reinforcing these tropes, it reclaims the power of music and the movement of the female body as tools of liberation. If cinema is about dreams, then this ending is the dream of many women. And for those who criticise the ending—yes, just so you know—votes matter. The act of voting is not a hollow gesture; it is a form of collective testimony to structural change. You may dislike the political system, but voting always matters.
The performances are outstanding. While the film plays with absurd genre traditions, Cortellesi masterfully reclaims them, using their language to demand a new kind of representation—one that confronts and reimagines the history too often distorted or silenced on the big screen.
