A Nostalgic summer melancholia

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2020)

A true love story that left me with deep feelings of nostalgia and melancholia.
This film relates to most of us because it's shot in wide-angle cameras with lively bright colors which give the film a very memory-like aesthetic that even though I've never been to northern Italy or lived in the 80s, I still feel the sadness and miss a time which I hadn't live through.
Timothée and Armie portray their characters in the purest way possible, two people experiencing a love that's hard to find, the type of love that never loses it's purity and power, because of the flames of the first sight, the special occasion in which it started.
It's cinematically beautiful as well, both summer and winter sequences capture the essence of the season in a magical way.
I'd love to come to northern Italy one day and ride a bike through the streets of Crema.
