Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
I think my above title says it all. I cannot count how many times I've watch it and every time I cry and laugh.
I think this movie is so amazing i've been looking for it ever since i watched it on Aussie TV ten years ago,its by far the best movie i've seen,amazing twist and really emotional.it has really good actors, and i'm still trying to find the movie i haven't tried purchasing online, but i'm gonna give that a try for the first time ever, just so i can get a copy of this movie,it is a very dramatic film and will make anyone cry, i hope UAE T.V channel one or MBC 2 decide to put on T.V because it will definitely be worth it
There have been many TV movies based on the mafia, but this particular film, BELLA MAFIA, is about the finest. Brilliant performances by the entire cast. In my humble opinion, and even though I have seen a lot of his work I believe this is JAMES MARSDEN'S finest performance. It still irks me to this day why he was not nominated for an Emmy. The guy is superb, as well as Natasha Kinski and Vanessa Redgrave. JAMES MARSDEN, as handsome as ever, is pure evil and brings so much depth to his character. You want to care about him and fear him at the same time. This movie ranks up there with THE GODFATHER. Do not hesitate to see this movie. The fact that it is not on DVD yet is a crime unto itself!! It has not popped up on TV lately but it should. Too bad this wasn't originally a theatrical release. It has Oscar written all over it!!
Unfortunately the acting of the main characters is the only reason to recommend this film. Vanessa Redgrave was at her elegant best, but the dialogue of her role left her with little/no opportunity to demonstrate her art. The same can be said for Nastassja Kinski and Illeana Douglas. Meg Tilly (whose character was never a part of the book), provided an adequate dose of comic relief. James Marsden can be complimented on his eloquent portrayal of the unnervingly human demon, Luca.But those were the only good sides. The director of "The Last Don" did poorly with this venture, as did the screenwriters. Not only were the characters underdeveloped, but their setting, behavior, and movements were utterly unbelievable. I do not know what the director was thinking, but when the a set of four women remains unchanged and un-aging through the interval of twenty years--the viewer may well question the quality of the film. The accents, so well done in "The Last Don" were misplaced or absent here. To make a long story short (too late?), the actors struggle valiantly against overwhelming odds to do a good job in the mess of a script they must work with, but their battle is lost.
