La Salita immerses you into a Naples that blurs the lines between memory and reality. Gallo’s directorial debut takes a quieter route, exploring an intimate slice of Eduardo De Filippo’s life with a gentle but poignant touch. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the rich atmosphere to breathe and envelop the viewer—there's a palpable sense of nostalgia and unfulfilled dreams. The performances, particularly from the lead, resonate deeply, capturing the essence of struggle and hope in the shadow of a vibrant yet harsh city backdrop. The practical effects are minimal, favoring a raw, authentic feel that enhances the storytelling. It’s a film that lingers, reflecting on the weight of artistic legacy and personal sacrifice.
