Männer al dente- a movie

A film by Ferzan Ozeptek. This man is known for good films. That is for sure. I saw the movie in Sweden thanks to a friend and now found out the german title. Actually the original title is "me vaganti". And I must admit the swedish film company knew the better words for the german name is quite not what the film is about but so they ad a view words which tell you more about the theme.
So what is it about? A family in Italy who owns a big pasta company and the story takes place in a time when the father of all wants to give it to his sons. But those guys have another idea of what to do with their lives. Although this film starts with the story of the grandmother, but don't be afraid... you won't get bored. The youngest son Tommaso wants to tell the family that he wants to step out of the way they have planed but his older brother gets in the way. Now the carousel is starting to turn again but with different solutions. The turnings in the story are just amazing. Part of the story is told as a reminder of the memories of the grandmother. But I have to say that it all works for me. I never lost the path and loved all the little ideas they had while making the movie. 

And then we have the young women who becomes a partner in crime. She also is a story in a story, but fits in so smart, that you dare not to tell it. 
It's a comedy but you will cry too. The drama is near the laugh and it's about the fact, that every moment is the right moment to get happy. A comedy al Italia they say it is. Yes this is very much like it. It also is a movie about Italy and the way they live, act and think. Family is of course always included. 
A family movie? Yes it is! But also does this movie make you think of holiday in summer, maybe Italy. Cos the colors you watch are so warm and the story goes on right straight into your hearth. 108 minutes of fun and drama awaits you. With or without noodles, you'll will have a good time.
