An introspective and slightly melancholy romcom
Written and directed by Marco Martani, The woman for me And a romantic comedy that plays intelligently on misunderstanding and the exchange of person. Adopting – as happened in the cult with Bill Murray I’m starting over of 1993 – the time loop gimmick For reflect on “small” existential issues such as the importance of promises and the need for cultivate affections.
Although the script lacks the freshness and the irreverence of the American models that inspire him, he possesses an excellent capacity for psychological introspection and a melancholy fundamentally, profoundly European, which softens some edges of the narrative. Furthermore, the direction intelligently chooses to put itself at the service of the story, without too much virtuosity but focusing on the perceptive dimension of its protagonist. Interpreted by good Andrea Arcangeli that with Alessandra Mastronardishape a well-matched couple.
If the two protagonists fit perfectly into the narrative, the same cannot be said of them many supporting characters. As the groom’s friends for example – Stefano Fresi, Eduardo Scarpetta and the singer Francesco Gabbani, in his first acting test –, characters who certainly deserved more space.
