Arance & martello

About This Movie

So, 'Arance & martello' is this quirky little comedy, set in the sweltering summer of 2011 during the Berlusconi regime. It's all about this corner market, you know, the kind that feels like a lifeblood for the community. When the mayor decides it's time to shut it down, it really shakes things up. The local Democratic Party becomes the last hope for the vendors, but there’s this funny disconnect. The pacing is lively, the humor is dry yet relatable, and you really get a sense of that tense atmosphere of political undercurrents. The performances have this almost improvised feel, making it all feel authentic. It’s not just a comedy; it digs into themes of community and resilience in a time of change, which I find intriguing.

Engaging portrayal of community dynamics. · Subtle political commentary woven into humor. · Interesting character interactions that feel real.
