Gianni Schicchi

About This Movie

Gianni Schicchi is a real treat for those who appreciate a blend of humor and music. Directed by Corina Van Eijk in 2015, it captures the chaotic atmosphere of a family in the throes of greed after Buoso Donati's death. The pacing is brisk, with characters darting around, each more desperate than the last to claim a piece of the inheritance. The performances stand out; there's this delightful tension as the family members' true colors emerge. The music, of course, brings an operatic flair to the drama, making the absurdity of their situation even richer. It’s not your typical opera film; it’s more about human folly and ambition played out in a lavish setting, making it distinct and quite engaging.
