Review of Il Grido

You should not expect any kind of active action from the film, this is a very inexpressive and unhurried work. The first time the movie noticed me only an hour later, at the moment when the child realizes that the mother will no longer be in her life, and that the father was not going to see her. The unjustified destructiveness of the actions of the main character - he just left - just threw - just beat him up - he just does what he does, spitting on the child along with his girlfriend, ready to sacrifice her life for their comfort. Well, at least they didn't, and thanks for that. Completely unnecessary, lonely, as a result, the father sends back to his mother, but asks her not to tell anyone that he is deeply unhappy in the life he is living. Further, I liked the moment where the engineer says to the proletarians in solidarity that: "If a piece of land is taken away from you, it's all for the good of the country, and these peasants live even better than you", at the moment when these very fields set on fire by the military for the construction of a new airport are on fire. Then we see a happy child returning home, and a father who looks through a lattice window at the happy life of his ex-wife. He decided everything for himself, before the "Hitchcock ending", as I would call it.
