When books reach extraordinary results, especially in major Italian literary competitions, you must always be suspicious, so in 2008, "The Solitude of Prime Numbers" by Paul Jordan grabs is the "Witch" and the "Campiello" I'm not convinced and rightly so, so much so that I have never spoken publicly. In this movie season has arrived filmic transposition of the book by Jordan (who along with director Xavier Costanzo has written the script) and I must say all my impressions of the book are confirmed in this film. The book was poor and the film points out all the weaknesses of the best seller of Jordan, you save only the interpretation of the two protagonists (a Rohrwacher Alba which is proving increasingly to be one of the best performers in circulation and makes a silent Luca Marinelli the film almost claustrophobic) and the soundtrack by Mike Patton, which certainly exceeds in terms of satisfaction that accompanies the images.
"Alice and Mattia. Peers in Turin. Children whose consciences are crossed by a deep trauma that does not ever abandon them. Alice and Mattia. You know. They may love each other. Split (he accepts an assignment in Germany and she married). May find themselves whether to allow what you are always in some way be prohibited. Two bodies may merge but remain walled up in a solitude that is as inevitable because the sense of guilt and feeling out of place (in an increasingly fierce right from the youngest age) end up pushing to build walls in which can only open small gaps which seem always ready to close. We follow their lives from childhood, marked by deep trauma, caused by careless adults guiltily, that isolates the characters in a property and violent inner world. Will recognize themselves in their mutual discomfort to them but also to bring them will be separated for life. Costanzo feel the need to imbue the film material of the pain that marks the existence of the protagonists. " This is the plot that could have (at least in the movie) another course and instead is lost behind a cunt rap'presentazione horrors of the lives of the two protagonists. Again, a movie like the book I did not like at all.
