Film 2249 - Poor Things

Intro: Ammetto che non avessi intenzione originariamente di vedere questo film. Poi hanno cominciato a parlarne bene tutti, così alla fine mi sono convinto.

Film 2249: "Poor Things" (2023) di Yorgos Lanthimos
Visto: al cinema
Lingua: inglese
Compagnia: Niamh
In sintesi: le pellicole precedenti di Lanthimos che ho visto mi sono piaciute tutte (tranne "The Killing of a Sacred Deer") per cui risultava strano a me per primo che mancassi di curiosità nei confronti del suo ultimo progetto. Credo che, per me, l'aspetto visivo fosse il primo deterrente: in un momento personale in cui (ancora) fatico ad approcciarmi a prodotti drammatici emotivamente provanti, l'idea che mi ero originariamente fatto di "Poor Things" era che potesse essere uno di quei film complessi, un po' cerebrali, tendenzialmente d'essai. Ovvero tutto ciò per cui non riesco a sviluppare un interesse ultimamente.
Poi, con tutto il clamore ottenuto, mi sono lasciato convincere e, devo dire, di fatto il film non mi è dispiaciuto. Ammetto che non sia una di quelle storie che sento il bisogno di rivivere - ovvero, vista la pellicola una volta sono contento così - però sicuramente "Poor Things" è un'esperienza visiva che, se si è appassionati di cinema contemporaneo, va fatta. Lanthimos è chiaramente un grande narratore e artista che, in questo caso, ha più che mai lasciato libera la sua creatività, confezionando un prodotto stilisticamente meraviglioso e artisticamente interessante. Oltre a lui, il merito va ovviamente a una Emma Stone mai così assorbita in un ruolo che ne mettesse alla prova le capacità (non solo recitative in questo caso, dato che qui è anche produttrice del film, ergo la Stone è anche candidata all'Oscar per il Miglior film quest'anno). A lei va tutto il merito di portare sulle spalle un prodotto complicato e complesso e, soprattutto, non facile da "vendere" al pubblico. Se il risultato finale funziona è anche per merito suo. Tra l'altro secondo me è possibile che la Stone vinca il suo secondo Oscar per la sua performance, anche se sarà difficile battere la Lily Gladstone di "Killers of the Flower Moon" (anche per una questione un po' politica a dire il vero, ma quella è un'altra storia).
Detto cioò, ho trovato "Poor Things" un po' troppo lungo per i miei gusti (142 minuti), in particolare mi è risultata "faticosa" la parentesi portoghese - per quanto spettacolare in termini visivi - probabilmente anche in conseguenza del fatto che l'antipatico personaggio interpretato da Mark Ruffalo in questo capitolo è molto presente.
A prescindere, comunque, avrei un po' sforbiciato qui e là, specialmente una parte iniziale particolarmente disorientante che mi ha lasciato per troppo tempo a chiedermi a cosa stessi assistento, sottraendo la mia attenzione dal film.
Particolarmente godibile, invece, la parentesi francese in cui Bella (Stone) matura una consapevolezza di sé stessa e del suo corpo che fino a quel momento non aveva. Quella che sarebbe potuta essere la parte più difficile della storia da digerire risulta, invece, divertente e sorprendentemente "self-aware".
Tutto sommato, quindi, una visione godibile di un prodotto artisticamente ricchissimo (costumi, scenografie, musiche, fotografia) che, insieme ad altri titoli più pop della passa stagione, la fa da padrone in una stagione cinematografica altrimenti particolarmente priva di ispirazione.
Cast: Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, Margaret Qualley, Jerrod Carmichael, Hanna Schygulla.
Box Office: $90.5 milioni (ad oggi)
Vale o non vale: Lanthimos si spinge ancora oltre "The Favourite" e confeziona una pellicola che, ad oggi, sembra essere la continuazione naturale di tutto ciò che ha portato precedentemente al cinema: più colorato, più audace, ancora più creativo, "Poor Things" è un altro film con una forte protagonista femminile, un'altra storia profondamente personale - del resto cosa c'è di più personale del trovare se stessi? - nonché un altro titolo dallo humor provocatorio, ma estremamente efficace. Insomma, nel marasma di robaccia che esce ultimamente, fatevi un regalo e date una chance a questa pellicola. Magari non è il vostro genere, ma almeno è un prodotto creativo che ha qualcosa da dire, nonché da mostrare.
Premi: Candidato a 11 premi Oscar per il Miglior film, regia, attrice protagonista (Stone), attore non protagonista (Ruffalo), sceneggiatura non originale, fotografia, scenografia, colonna sonora, montaggio, cortumi, make-up e acconciature. Vincitore di 2 Golden Globes per Miglior film musical/commedia e attrice protagonista (Stone) su 6 nomination (per regia, sceneggiatura, colonna sonora e i due attori non protagonisti Ruffalo e Dafoe). 11 nomination ai BAFTA per Miglior film, regia, attrice protagonista, sceneggiatura non originale, colonna sonora, montaggio, fotografia, costumi, scenografia, make-up e acconciature, effetti speciali e film britannico dell'anno. Il film ha vinto il Leone d'oro alla Mostra del cinema di Venezia 2023.
Parola chiave: Experiment.
