anonimo veneziano / anonimo veneciano (Dvd) Italian Import

Product Information

One of those films which it almost hurts to see again, and still you can't see it many times enough. Already the second time you start crying from the beginning. The August heat has driven many residents out of Venice and nearby mainland cities for vacations in cooler climes, so just as Commissario Guido Brunetti is about to take his family to the mountains, he is asked by the police in Mestre to take charge of a murder case; their own detectives are mostly away on leave. So Brunetti stays behind as his family go to the mountains. A dying man encounter in a dying city with the woman he loves. Could it be something more romantic and sadder? Both actors are great. The beauty of the film becomes the more overwhelming for the enchantment of the Venetian environment and, above all, the music. After hearing only the first bars you'll remember it forever and always keep returning to it.

But this one was GOOD. It was harsher, more sordid and had tougher language and sensibilities in its tone and within Guido's reaction than 90% of all the other 20 plus novels. I can't remember him ever using such base language (foul) or context in any of the others. It's an investigation into the death of a male dressed as a woman and found beaten to death in a field close by the slaughterhouse for cattle, pigs. The film is especially notable for its romantic musical score, composed by Stelvio Cipriani. In the movie's musical score there is also an Adagio, erroneously attributed to the Baroque Venetian composer Benedetto Marcello (31 July or 1 August 1686 – 24 July 1739). In reality, the author of the D concerto for oboe and orchestra was his older brother Alessandro (1 February 1673 – 19 June 1747). In 1970, Frida Boccara recorded the song "Venise Va Mourir", the main theme of the film (French version, lyrics by Eddy Marnay), later performing it at the Cannes Film Festival. Tony Renis recorded it as "Anonimo veneziano" (English and Italian versions, 1970) and "Venise Va Mourir" (1971, French version). Singers Sergio Denis (1971), Fred Bongusto (1971), Ornella Vanoni (1971), and Nana Mouskouri (as "To Be the One You Love", 1973), also performed the piece. Valeria, notwithstanding her "so-called" new life, shows her devotion to Enrico throughout the entire movie, accepting his behavior, knowing what that really means, knowing that he was acting out of pain, sorrow and FEAR. After all. at one point in the movie, as he angrily throws his briefcase up in the air after disclosing his doom to Valeria, Enrico does say "All of this is happening and I should not be scared?".

Enrico asked Valeria to come to Venice for mysteryour reasons which he seems reluctant to divulge and while they walk and talk, they have the time to reminisce about their happy past in the city. Unfortunately, their conversation has nothing of the fluidity of movies such "Before sunrise". Enrico seems mean spirited and Valeria mostly angry. As this book opens, Brunetti is looking forward to escaping the steamy summer of Venice with his family; his plans are put on hold when the body of a badly beaten man is discovered in an industrial wasteland, frequented by prostitutes and their clients. their way to Florence (that cramped warren of traffic jams) in the middle of July. Not surprisingly, they find the city crowded and the canals pungent. You can't expect a city of 250,000 inhabitants to Only two actors ,and it is much to their credit to sustain our interest throughout ;Florinda Bolkan was a beauty legend of the Italian cinema and American Tony Musante often worked in both country (notably in the excellent Dario Argento 's thriller "l'ucello dalle piume di cristallo"1967) .

The case is sordid--a man dressed in women's clothing was found beaten to death in a field near a slaughterhouse, an area known as a rendezvous between prostitutes and factory workers heading home after work. But as Brunetti and the Mestre force begin investigating, it becomes likely that the man was neither a transvestite nor a prostitute. When Brunetti encounters a noted lawyer in the home of a transvestite on their interview list, and Brunetti suspects the man is lying about recognizing the murdered man's photo, the case assumes a different shape. Soon Brunetti is pursuing the strangely anonymous activities of La Lega della Moralita, a charitable group supposedly helping the "deserving poor" find apartments in Venice's labyrinthine real estate world. A massive fraud begins to rise to the surface--and then, on the way home from a routine stakeout, an officer is killed in a hit-and-run accident. In this case the musician has a terminal disease, however life in its immense sarcasm and cruelty, reminds him , and the love of his life, how small and stupid as a species we are. And how , so many small mistakes lead to desperation and sadness. If we could have recorded every minute when we fell in love , every gesture, every smile and every Kiss, then maybe we wouldnt have to remind ourselves why we fell so deeply in love. The best thing about this movie is Venice, shown in its less touristy, more intimate corners. Main characters Valeria and Enrico walk their way through the whole city without a specific reason, except promoting the city for your next holiday. At first, the body is thought to be of a male transvestite prostitute but when it’s identified as a married man and the director of the Bank of Verona, it seems that there is something more than just a prostituted murdered by a client.A Venetian musician is affected by an incurable disease. He arranges to meet his wife, who is now living with another man in another city, but does not tell her about his condition. They walk through the streets and channels of Venice. They remember the happy times when they lived together, she is in blissful ignorance of his terminal illness. He has to play a classic concert piece, recently discovered, but with no known composer, the 'Anonymous Venetian', in a recording studio. She finally realizes that she is still in love with him.

The rest is pure Guido. He's like a beast of burden pulling the shafts around and around the grinding mill. Finding out who, and then finding out why/how! Justice as equates within Italia in the Veneto.The narration by David Colacci in the audiobook edition was fine. Colacci is the regular English language narrator for the series, except for The Golden Egg #22 which is narrated by David Rintoul. 17 of the current 30 books are available for free on Audible Plus. It's a wandering through Venizia , Enrico taking his ex-wife to places when they were deeply in love ;and however ,he was not a faithful husband ,it's really a warts-and-all depiction(Enrico throws away the bouquet) inside a romantic journey through the past. Their enigmatic conversations take place all over Venice, however, and there are a lot of locations you won't recognize unless you really

First a disclaimer, that I'm returning to the earlier Brunetti novels and reading the ones I missed. So this was read after 21 others, although it is only #3 in the series. And I also have to admit that my very favorites are all within the last 10 books when there has been much deeper and "crux /core" peeled down character development.As the investigation proceeds, the body count mounts and Brunetti must once again wrestle with the corrupt bureaucracy of Italy where powerful people are able to buy the police and ensure the outcomes that they desire from government offices. Hmm...that does hit a bit too close to home. It could be a mushy melodrama, it's a delicate treatment of the last day of a couple :they were married ,but even after divorce ,something remains who strangely looks like love ; not dwelling on the sordid side of live, the truth about the ex-husband is only revealed at the 50 th minute ( the pills and the injection disconcert the viewer though ). It's like a short story by Chekhov comprising a universe of feelings and drama in a moment's brief revelation of the worst problems and complexities of human existence. It is the type of movies that shakes depressed souls and hopelessly romantic individuals like myself.
