The new provisions contained in the Prime Ministerial Decree of 3 November they brought back the bugbear lockdown. While in the yellow and orange areas the curfew 22, in the red areas more restrictive measures have been adopted (very similar to the lockdown). Until the 3th December it is therefore recommended to stay at home, work in smart working and, of course, watch some streaming movies. Platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video e Disney + they are ready and offer a fairly rich catalog. So here it is five movies to watch during curfew.
Movies to watch for curfew: His house, a current horror
His House it's a "ghost stories" of the 2020, ingenious and rather particular, available on the streaming platform Netflix. More than the shivers of terror, however, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth and a lot of sadness. The plot revolves around Bowl e Rial, a pair of refugees from South Sudan, arrived in Great Britain after fleeing the civil war that is setting the country on fire. During the crossing, the couple's daughter lost her life in the waters of the Mediterranean (now unfortunately it has become the "cemetery of the innocent and the desperate"). After having lived for a long period in a shelter, the two are assigned a council house, where they can start their life again and integrate with society. Once inside the house, the two will have to deal with ghosts that will haunt them.
With His House, the director Remi Weekes it does not tell a ghost story, but a story of immigration, pain and integration difficulties. A very current film, in which the idea that the social cruelty of reality exceeds that described in the film is perhaps more frightening. It is definitely one of the movies to watch during the curfew.
Borat 2: irreverent and irreverent comedy
Who seeks instead sarcasm and anything but the "politically correct”, Then the winning horse to bet on is Borat - Sequence of cinema films. Sasha Baron Coen come back later 16 years with his most famous character, in a really funny, irreverent, but at the same time current film. In fact, we speak of Covid-19 need United States (The movie was released on Amazon Prime Video just a few days before US elections). The film also makes fun of conspiracy theorists extreme right (QAnon) who believe there is a new world order organized against Donald Trump. Borat 2 not only makes you laugh, but also makes you reflect on the bad turn taken by current American society (which unfortunately does not differ much from ours).
Pinocchio: a dip in the magical world of Collodi
If you want to immerse yourself in one of the most classic and magical stories ever, Amazon Prime Video also offers Pinocchio, of Matthew Garrone. This 2019 film can boast an exceptional cast, such as Roberto Benigni in the role of Geppetto o Massimo ceccherini e Rocco Papaleo as the cat and the fox.
The film does not differ much from the original work of Collodi and maintains all the fairytale atmospheres. The story of the puppet who wanted to become a child is told in a masterly way. If you are looking for a movie to watch during the curfew, Pinocchio di Garrone will make you excited and feel like a child again.
Rocketman: success, fall and rebirth of a myth
Lovers of good music and musicals can't miss Rocketman on Amazon Prime Video. The film is a biopic on the life of the music legend Elton John, through ups and downs, success and drug addiction. Unlike Bohemian Rapsody, film about the life of Freddie Mercury and Queen, Rocketman is very troubled and certainly less sweetened. In addition, the songs are masterfully performed by the protagonist Taron Egerton. Not to be missed.
Edward Scissorhands: a timeless "Christmas fairy tale"
Christmas is now around the corner and, if you are in the mood for a classic of the period, Disney + offers the masterpiece of Tim Burton "Edward scissor hands". Released in 1990, the first of the couple Burton-Deep, this film is a dramatic fairy tale that speaks of loneliness, diversity and only a touch of happiness. Although for many it is an immortal masterpiece, the new generations may not know it. In this case, it is best to repair immediately.
Bonus movie to watch during curfew: Horse fever
Let's finish with a bonus: Horse fever, available on Netflix. Film of the 1976 with the unforgettable Gigi Proietti (passed away last 2th November on his 80th birthday), Horse Fever is an insight into the Roma of the 70s, but above all on the world of horse racing betting.
Almost flop on its release, over time it has become a real cult. The scene of Gigi Proietti fake policeman who fails to recite the line during a commercial ("The risk-free male whiskey!") Is now a classic. Horse Fever is one of those movies to watch during curfew, to try to forget these sad days and remember the great Proietti.
