CinemAperitivo: Ti mangio il cuore [Burning Hearts] [OmeU] IT, 2022, R: Pippo Mezzapesa mit Elodie, Francesco Patanè, Lidia Vitale, 115 Min, Anschluss Aperitivo und GesprächPromontory of the Gargano, Apulia, 2004: two families who have hated each other for too long have now reached a fragile truce, but the past is always haunting them. The impossible love that suddenly explodes between Andrea, son of one of the two bosses, and Marilena, wife of a fugitive and mother of his children, will drag everyone back into a violent spiral of blood and death. Sanctity and death are inextricably linked in the film, indicating a society in which revenge and settling accounts are cold rituals inherent in life, consolidated traditions. Thanks to the sublimation of a splendid black-and-white, with a severe photography, lacquered in its sculpting of bodies, Burning Hearts takes on the tones of a Western in which the Gargano is a land without law, bare and timeless. Marilena is a destabilizing apparition, almost an image from another world. She too has a personal pending account to settle. The film is inspired by the story of Rosa di Fiore, the first female witness to justice, and is therefore a tribute to those who have managed to free themselves from the suffocating embrace of organized crime, against those who wanted to erase faces and memories.
