Apart
from that everyone once in the lifetime desired the actress who plays
Giulia, here the only one desire is to never see this film.
Andrea
Barzini director of fiction, but also to " Italia-Germania 4-3"
"Volevamo essere gli U2" and the terrible "Passo A Due" directed
at thirty-three years old his second movie inspired by the famous
italian writer Italo Svevo. "Senelità" is the name of the
Svevo's story that here is trivialized and full of soft-core scene and
poor psychology facts.
"Desiderando
Giulia" is an erotic drama decidedly boring, that arouses interest only
for the first twenty minutes, the minutes in which you can figure what
a kind of movie you are watching. Then you understand that you are in a that, story acted badly. All the characters seem wrote quickly and are flat. We
know very well that flat is not the protagonist Serena Grandi, Juno
stars of the eighties on which "Desiderando Giulia" clings . She
acts badly as ever and as usual is used in all her erotic power, which, as you know, is great. Naked, touched, used as an object and as a strong woman, she gives
the idea of the character but she doesn't know how to make it believable. At
his side, however, we find an interesting cast, which in additionto
give a part to Massimo Sarchielli and Giuliana Calandra, has Valeria D'Obici a very young Sergio Rubini in his first year as an
actor and especially to Johan Leysen seen in many movies.
"Desiderando
Giulia" is a story that tells of a life not much lived, of an existence
unsatisfactory that sends Emilio in crisis. He, failed writer, works for a publishing house as a proof-reader and
lives with his sister Amalia with whom he has a strange relationship. One
day she sees Giulia in a theater, falls in love, he dreams her, and she becomes
his obsession and begins a relationship very erotic, with her. Meanwhile Emilio works with the young writer Stefano, who began attending Amalia.
The problem here is the too morbid relationship with Emilio and Giulia. She is independent woman, who drove crazy crazy the man who loves her. The absurdity of the whole film is then a dramatic turn that makes no sense and that goes fast and undetected.
