Everything You Want

About This Movie

Everything You Want, from 2017, dives into the lives of two mismatched characters: Alessandro, a young guy who's got no direction and uses gambling and fights to fill his time, and Giorgio, an elderly poet grappling with Alzheimer's. The film unfolds at a leisurely pace, allowing us to really soak in their evolving bond during their daily walks. It’s a blend of comedy and drama that feels warm yet bittersweet. The performances are quite striking, especially as they navigate the complexities of memory and connection. The tone is light but carries an undertow of gravity, making the moments of humor land with weight. It's a character-driven piece that lets you reflect on life's nuances rather than just pushing a narrative forward.
