Pulsar Content has boarded sales on “Stranizza d’Amuri” (“Fireworks”), the true story about the hate crime that gave birth to Arcigay, Italy’s first and largest LGBTQ rights group. Produced by Ibla Film (“The Staggering Girl”), the movie marks the feature debut of veteran Italian actor Giuseppe Fiorello (“Terraferma”).
A tale of first love, “Fireworks” tells the story of two teenagers who fall for each other in the very conservative Sicily in the 1980s. They will carry the weight of society and face tragic consequences. Gabriele Pizzurro and Samuele Segreto star in the film alongside Fabrizia Sacchi (“Suspiria’) and Simona Malato (“The Macaluso Sisters”).
“Fireworks” was penned by Fiorello, Andrea Cedrola (“Una famiglia”) and Carlo Salsa (“Cuori Puri”), in collaboration with Josella Porto. Ibla Film produced the movie with Rai Cinema and Fenix Entertainment, in association with Silvio Campara, Golden Goose and Genera Life.

Perks of Using the Star System: Tognazzi’s Tale a Tad Too Familiar
Maria Sole Tognazzi, daughter of famed actor/director Ugo Tognazzi, visits the mid-life crisis mode of the single female for her third feature, A Five Star Life. Featuring one of Italy’s most noted leading ladies, Margherita Buy, this rather reserved exercise feels far too buttoned up to make any lasting impression, genuine as everyone involved seems to be. The plotting, the scenario, and the eventual outcome are all far too familiar, (unique occupations aside) to register as anything more than standard cliché. Several subplots seem like a bid to pad out the running time rather than furthering the development of supporting characters.
A single, childless fortysomething woman, Irene (Buy) seems to have a dream job as a luxury hotel inspector. Sailing into extravagant lodges, she plays a mystery guest, ticking off demerits on the service and presentation.

As stilted as its protagonist's suffocatingly organized existence, A Five Star Life follows Irene (Margherita Buy) as she travels from one beautiful European resort to another in order to inspect, secretly, the quality of their accommodations.
A thorough critic, Irene is nonetheless oblivious to her own loneliness, too busy dishing out tough grades to resorts, as well as dealing with a sister (Fabrizia Sacchi) who constantly berates her for not having a family, and a former lover (Stefano Accorsi) whom Irene fears may stop being her bestie because of the baby he's having with another woman (Fausto Maria Sciarappa).

Title: Viaggio Sola Director: Maria Sole Tognazzi Starring: Margherita Buy, Stefano Accorsi, Fabrizia Sacchi, Gian Marco Tognazzi, Alessia Barela, Lesley Manville ‘Viaggio Sola’ (I travel on my own) is a great commercial to promote the Leading Hotels in the World consortium, but as movie it is pretty mediocre. The story spins around the forty year old, single, childless, Irene (Margherita Buy), who is completely absorbed by her job as incognito-reviewer of five star hotels. Her jet-hopping life intertwines with the brief moments she spends with her sister, Silvia (Fabrizia Sacchi), who is married and has two daughters, and her ex boyfriend, Andrea (Stefano Accorsi). Irene is self-sufficient, she doesn’t need a [ Read More ]

Title: The First Beautiful Thing Director: Paolo Virzi Starring: Micaela Ramazzotti, Valerio Mastandrea, Claudia Pandolfi, Sergio Albelli, Fabrizia Sacchi A major box office player in its native Italy, and the country’s official 2011 selection for Best Foreign Film Academy Award consideration, ‘The First Beautiful Thing’ (also known as ‘La Prima Cosa Bella’) is a movie that’s both heartrending and heartwarming, and never falsely so. Fabulously staged and rapturously acted, it’s an honest and perceptive tale of adult reconciliation — of coming to the recognition that one’s parents are actually people too, and loving them with their faults and shortcomings, all the same. The story opens in 1971, at a small town fair,...
