Scontro di civiltà per un ascensore a piazza Vittorio
by Amara Lakhous
Three stars is too much, but I'm feeling generous today. This is an entertainment that yes, made me laugh, but it's just too easy to caricature stupidity (even if the exaggerations are all too sad but true).
It's about the immigrant experience in Rome, which could be similar to my own experience, though not really. Here's a passage that I found true:
"Questa città ha qualcosa di strano. È molto difficile andarsene. Forse l'acqua delle sue fontane si è mescolata con una sostanza particolare che ha origini stregonesche."
"There's something strange about this city. It's very difficult to leave. Maybe the water of its fountains got mixed with a peculiar substance that has magical (witchy) origins." [my translation:]
Rome IS magical and witchy.......
