One can the 45-year-old Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino only hope that at some point he is as old as his film “Eternal Youth” can already look him now. The film is about two old men desire. The two friends are side by side become old and cultivate their despair; of a cheerful and casual, the other fidgety and outraged by the own Tattrigkeit.
Michael Caine plays with a gentle smile a star conductor named Fred Ballinger. Harvey Keitel borrows its fahrigsten Augenaufschlag a film director named Mick Boyle. In the third main role we see a rotten wunderhübsch luxury hotel in the Swiss Alps, where the two heroes pursue their obsessions: the witticism, the walking around and the lascivious viewing of naked young women’s bodies.
“Eternal Youth” is a machismo-imagination. The story of the film is as thin as the Swiss mountain air. The conductor Ballinger and the director Boyle look half caught up in the hustle and bustle of the world, ruined Liaisons and the beauty of the bodies. Ballinger is for the British Queen again take the baton in hand and to present in London its famous original composition – an oily emissary of Her Majesty makes him right in the picturesque resort garden offer to which you can not say no. The conductor says no.
Rachel Weisz plays the daughter of the conductor, which is also his personal assistant. It is great to look at and very unhappy – her husband has left her. The infidelity appears along with his new lover, a pop diva (Paloma Faith), at the hotel. For other personnel include: a fat ex-footballer who evokes Maradona, a smart Hollywood actor (Paul Dano), a Miss Universe (Madalina Diana Ghenea).
Great actor-hiking trip in the mountains
The director Paolo Sorrentino has become world famous with two outstanding astray Men’s portraits, namely “Il Divo” (2008, with Toni Servillo) and “Cheyenne – This Must Be The Place” (2011, starring Sean Penn). He won an Oscar for his unrestrained foreign kitsch enthusiastic homage Rome “La Grande Bellezza” (2013). He cares for the high school of cinema-Mannerism.
In other words: Each of his pictures, whether it shows dairy cows on mountain meadows or walking people in cablecars, is as carefully composed as the director to apply in each case by a spontaneous applause. Gern over thundering music the images, sometimes pop, sometimes classical. Always alluded to the works of old masters of cinema and painting, on Federico Fellini, Alfred Hitchcock, Ferdinand Hodler, for example.
The power of “Eternal Youth” but does not arise from the ever picked tasteful arrangements of the director, but from the art of the actor. From the looks full of filial care with which Rachel Weisz cherishes her father; from the mischievous Dauergemotze that uses Michael Caine as a shield while he can endure stupid naked massage about himself; from the elegant Armrudern which Harvey Keitel shows during his hero one last time can fly in the radiant heroine of his greatest successes – it is in fact Jane Fonda.In the best moments can be seen in the movie “Eternal Youth”, which only means the original “Youth”, the almost childish joy with which Sorrentino gloats at the brilliance of the contributors. In the worst moments, the director lets his two old boys talk about their problems with urination. However, the greatest part of this time is major actor-hiking trip in the mountains, a meditative fun for all people who love the cinema and the here presented selection of his greatest heroines and heroines.
your drunk of age-Ennui and Vergeblichkeitsschmerz director Paolo Sorrentino but you want after all the massages, healing water applications and gymnastics hour of this movie but then recommend a radical mental makeover. Youth is in the movies – unlike in life – pure Kopfsache
