I'm Starting from Three

About This Movie

I'm Starting from Three is a charming, introspective comedy that unfolds in the bustling streets of Naples. Massimo Troisi, who also stars, brings a gentle, almost whimsical quality to Gaetano's journey of self-discovery. The film captures that bittersweet essence of youth—wanting more from life yet feeling the weight of home. The pacing is leisurely, which allows you to immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the city. The practical effects are minimal, but the natural settings pull you right into the heart of Neapolitan life. Troisi's performance has an endearing awkwardness; it’s relatable in a way that feels distinctly Italian. This one's a subtle exploration of freedom and connection without the usual comedic frills.

Original Italian title: 'Cominciamo a fare qualcosa' · Notable for its authentic Neapolitan dialogue · Troisi co-wrote the screenplay, adding personal touch · Shot on location in Naples, enhancing realism
