Here is an article on the five films to see during the Christmas holidays. In fact, with the cold and the rain it's nice to go to the cinema. On the other hand, there is no shortage of cinepanettoni. But what are the Italian proposals for those who go to the cinema these days?
One of the five Christmas films is the new "Pinocchio"
An interesting proposition is the film Pinocchio, by Matteo Garrone. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters from 19 December 2019. There is talk of a work in which all the main characters of Collodi's original novel are present. Similarly, in the Pinocchio of Garrone we find: Geppetto, Lucignolo, Mangiafuoco, the Blue Fairy, the Jiminy Cricket, the Cat and the Fox. But there are also the Buttermilk, the Tuna and the Whale. The latter, in fact, are not always present in the other film versions. This is the idea of the director who proposes a film about one of the most famous Italian fairy tales in the world. In fact, Garrone asks to have a film that is as respectful as possible of the original novel. Above all, the cast is interesting, within which we find a restrained and heartbreaking Benigni. Roberto thus reminds us of the Nino Manfredi of the television Pinocchio by Luigi Comencini.
Likewise, the other characters are little Federico Ielapi in the role of Pinocchio. As such, Federico is small but tough. His puppet is always in balance between resourcefulness and the desire to belong, disobedience and loyalty. But there are also Massimo ceccherini e Rocco Papaleo in the roles of the Cat and the Fox. Not to mention the presence of Gigi Proietti. Another great of Italian cinema plays the role of the grumpy Fire Eater with an easy sneeze. In addition, the two fairies are the actresses Alida Baldari Calabria and Marine Vacht. However, among the names that enrich the cast is that of Davide Marotta (the talking cricket). Maria Pia Timo is the Snail, Enzo Vetrano as the Master and Nino Scardina is the Little Man of Butter. In any case, there is a lot of anticipation for this Pinocchio.
The goddess luck
The Goddess Fortuna is the film directed by Ferzan Ozpetek with Stefano Accorsi and Edoardo Leo. The film to be released in theaters from 19th December. In particular, this is the thirteenth film by Turkish director Ferzan Ozpetek. This film marks the return to a story that takes place in Rome in his adopted city, in particular after Rosso Istanbul and Napoli veiled, whose intertwining winded through the streets of Naples. In this way Ozpetek finds himself talking about love once again and at the same time uses a soundtrack that includes the beautiful and poignant Diamond Moon. On the other hand, the song sung by Mina and written and composed by Ivano Fossati represents a piece of Italian art. With this song we enter the mysteries and beats of the human heart.
The first Christmas
Il 12th December it was the turn of Ficarra e Picone. In fact, the two Sicilian comedians came out with their first Christmas movie. In the same way, they looked for the right formula to bring a work suitable for the whole family into the halls. But even if they would have had plenty of easy solutions and examples, their comedy rejects the fat laughter. So also for this film the lines are well studied. Also in the film there is also participation in the scripts of Nicola Guaglianone. On this occasion, their collaboration resulted in a film aimed at the widest possible audience. Equally Ficarra and Picone find a way to entertain children without giving up on making people think. In fact, the theme of the birth of Jesus is a perfect narrative element to make us reflect on the condition of the least, the needy, the invisible.
Me against you
Il 17 January 2020 goes out to the cinema Me against you. The film marks the cinema debut of the reality of you tuber. Particularly accessible, friendly, volcanic, always smiling and above all much loved by the youngest. In fact, we speak of the world of YouTube.

Now, practically five years after their debut on the most famous video playback site on the planet, these young people are also trying to conquer the world of cinema. In fact they bring their reality and their work into this film. A film suitable for the youngest.
Among the five Christmas films “Tolo Tolo” by Checco Zalone
Let's start the year with Checco Zalone. 2020st January XNUMX at the cinema goes out Fool Fool. Checco Zalone, stage name of Luca Pasquale Medici from Bari, despite often having fun in diminishing his culture and preparation, is a graduate in Law. To tell the truth, in addition to his activity as a comic actor, Zalone recalls that he has already released several albums as a singer. In fact, even the soundtrack of his new film, Tolo Tolo, is made by him. Similarly, the song Se t'immigra nel cuore is his creation.
Tolo Tolo is Zalone's first rehearsal also as a director. In fact, in his previous works he had Gennaro Nunziante alongside as screenwriter as well as director. On this occasion, however, for this adventure he wrote together with the director Paolo Virzì. In the same way it was not easy given the difficulties in this work.
