The film industry in the Western World is very precise with who performs or Writes the script with a severe screening auditing process. Nigeria Nollywood industry still has a lot to learn from professionals filmmakers, hailing from the diaspora. After we thoroughly reviewed an Italian famous film titled “Song’ e Napule” directed by Italian famous directors like Antonio Manetti and Marco Manetti
Song’e Napule is a 2013 film starring Alessandro Roja, Giampaolo Morelli, Serena Rossi , Paolo Sassanelli, Juliet Esey Joseph and others.
In Naples, Paco Stillo (Roja), an unemployed boy and a graduate of the conservatory, thanks to the recommendation of the politician Puglisi, manages to enter the police after having passed the interview with the chief Vitali (Carlo Buccirosso). Although the profession does not suit him, Stillo accepts that job but without too much enthusiasm. Two years later, Commissioner Cammarota (Sassanelli) and his team want to arrest the feared Camorra fan Ciro Serracane (Peppe Servillo), whose true identity no one knows. The only way to frame him is at the wedding of the daughter of Gennaro “Mazzadiferro” Scornaienco, a friend of Serracane. After seeing Stillo play the piano requisitioned in the police warehouses, Cammarota decides to let him join the band of Lollo Love (Morelli), a neo-melodic singer who will have to perform at the wedding in Scornaienco’s house.
Under the false name of Pino Dinamite, Stillo will take the place of the old keyboard player, arrested by the police, in order to identify Serracane at the ceremony and arrest him. The double game in an ironic and grotesque key In a comic and sometimes grotesque key, the Manetti brothers rework the ingredient of the double game. Already used in cinema from the James Bond saga to the great films of the 21st century such as. The Departed by Scorsese, in Song’s Napule the double game takes on a bizarre and comic character, useful for changing lives and preventing organized crime. The film describes the disease of the Neapolitan city with the presence of the Camorra and the continuous deception of the laws, in contrast with the protagonist. Stillo is a Neapolitan who repudiates his city and its nature and does everything to avoid appearing like the others. The task imposed by Cammarota leads him to live with a new world.
Through his music he lives in his uncorrupted, simple and perhaps safe world. With the neomelodico, and the character of Lollo Love (a reference to the many artists that Naples produces every day), Stillo understands that there is something better outside his apartment. With that disguise he can stop the underworld, but he can also make friends and meet Marianna (Serena Rossi), sister of Lollo Love. Winner of two David di Donatello for music. Song'e Napule also won four Silver Ribbons for Best Comedy, Best Score, Best Original Song and Best Supporting Actor to Paolo Sassanelli and Carlo Buccirosso. The latter, in the role of the commissioner, is truly extraordinary.
The film featured a Nigerian Italian s film actress JULIET ESEY JOSEPH, where she acted as GIULIETTA. The character of Juliet Eseh was energetic and sensible, notwithstanding her Benin born background to finally suit in with her rich accents while she bagged a perfect commanding phonetics while speaking her adopted language Italian. She had proven the professionalism, versatility, and capability of taking the Nigerian film industry to a greater height.
