Search: Starring Filippo Timi

  • The American (2010)
    Review preview for The American

    The killer-for-hire subgenre takes on an abstract, existentialist complexion.

    Anton Bitel · 4 out of 5
    An assassin tries to escape his past.
  • Asterix And Obelix In Britain (2012)
    Review preview for Asterix And Obelix In Britain

    With enjoyable performances, particularly from Lacoste and Gallienne and a decent stab at an 'importance of friendship' message underlying the laughs, Asterix is pleasant company, even if this isn't quite as magic as his potion.

    Amber Wilkinson · 2.5 out of 5
    The heroes from Gaul head to Britain to repel the Romans
  • A Castle In Italy (2013)
    Review preview for A Castle In Italy

    Everyone is allowed to over-act, not least herself, who runs the gamut of wet-eyed self-pity to hysteria.

    Richard Mowe · 2 out of 5
    A family are forced to sell their Italian home.
  • The Eight Mountains (2022)
    Review preview for The Eight Mountains

    In their quietly devastating manner, Groeningen and Vandermeersch examine the fluid nature of our confusion and confidence over our place in the world.

    Jeremy Mathews · 5 out of 5
    The Eight Mountains is the story of a friendship. Of children becoming men who try to erase the footprints of their fathers, but who, through the twists and turns they take, always end up returning home.
  • Kidnapped (2023)
    Review preview for Kidnapped

    This cinematic exploration, a manifestation of Christian bigotry, speculates with cinematic icons and religious imagery, laying bare the power-hungry clergy.

    Levan Tskhovrebadze · 4.5 out of 5
    In 1858, a six-year-old Jewish boy is forcibly seized from his family by the Catholic church.
  • Mi Fanno Male I Capelli (2023)
    Review preview for Mi Fanno Male I Capelli

    A bravura performance.

    Anne-Katrin Titze · 5 out of 5
    The film is freely inspired by the great actress Monica Vitti, but it is in no way a biopic. It is the story of a woman named Monica, who loses her memory and regains meaning in her life.
  • Vincere (2009)
    Review preview for Vincere

    Filippo Timi is excellent as the young, supremely egotistical Mussolini.

    Val Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
    The story of Musslolini's secret love child.
