  • THE HAND OF GOD (Netflix)

    From Bill Anderson@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 30 23:54:21 2021
    I have liked a number of movies such as, say, AMERICAN GRAFFITI, in
    which not much happens but the characters and the setting are
    fascinating and I'm convinced that's real life up there on the screen. I
    don't need mayhem to hold my attention -- interesting characters will do
    just fine.

    In THE HAND OF GOD (Original title: È stata la mano di Dio), Naples, the armpit of Italy, is photographed to look gorgeous, breathtaking at
    times, and a large cast of Italian actors I've never heard of do a fine
    job playing people I would never want to know. And those were my only
    rewards as I rode this thing out. It's getting raves from critics and
    audiences but if you're going to make a movie in which not much happens,
    you gotta make me care, and with this thing I just never cared once
    about anybody.

    Do you have an OLED display and 4K streaming? Watch it for some stunning
    shots. You might even care more than I did. Good luck with that.
