His character is etched in details and he comes out as a smart kid worth admiration.
Giuseppe Sulfaro as Renato Amoroso, the teenage boy looks so innocent with his expressive eyes.
This highlights how much economic emancipation is important for women. Parallelly it also shows the plight of a beautiful woman and a reflection of the social conditions during World War 2 in a small town of Italy.
The mental contours of a teenager with respect to sexuality is powerfully captured in Malena and presented in an aesthetic manner. I will not give away the story here.Malena reminde me of another movie which deals with ‘coming of age’, Summer of 42 and our desi flick Rockford. If you want to know how, you gotto watch the movie. However Renato proves with the passage of time that he is not just another lecherous admirer of Malena. Renato is a boy whose adolescence starts with the passionate raging of the attraction he feels for Malena. Malena is a beautiful voluptuous war widow who is fancied by every other man in a small town in Italy, much to the envy of its women. The plot is not that much of a big deal but the presentation is brilliant supported by a good script. The movie thus relies on dialogue which is mostly a part of this narration as the protagonists speak very less. Not that it is a silent movie but it is portrayed in a form of a story which is told by a man called Renato. When I was watching Malena, this came to my mind several times. ‘You say it best when you say nothing at all’, most of you must have heard this Ronan Keating song from ‘Nottinghill’.
