Review of Drifters

Drifters (2011)
1/10
Badly scripted, badly filmed, boring celluloid disaster
30 June 2023
"Drifters" demonstrates perfectly why Italian cinema is awful nowadays. It is very sad to see that garbage like this is produced in a country which gave us Antonioni, Fellini, Rosi, Argento etc. The movie begins with three friends having lots of meaningless conversations then one of them disappears for half an hour, and the other - our main hero - is boring as hell. And that is the whole movie, this boring guy has boring conversations with his father, with his other friend and last but not least with Asia Argento who has the most interesting role but her figure is also underdeveloped like the script which should have been put right into the garbage after it was written. Finally we get two more pathetic scenes, one is a sex scene (unbelievably badly filmed, by the way), here the crew even manages to film Ms Giovanelli's butt the most boring way. The other is an even more pathetic journey in the city by car where the main boringguy, his father, his father's new wife and Ms Giovanelli (who looks like she has come from a Playboy photo shooting) sing awfully bad, guess what - an Eros Ramazzotti song.

One can rarely see such an awful script filmed - and filmed in such a boring way. Lots of dialogues try to hide the big nothing which was produced here. This is television soap with some amateurishly shot sex scenes, nothing more. Italian cinema, RIP.
