About This Movie
Ah, 'The Devil and Holy Water' is such an interesting piece from '83. The film dances between comedy and a sort of existential crisis, featuring Bruno Marangoni, a washed-up footballer navigating his own failures. His comedic attempts at small scams are played with this delightful, almost tragicomic flair. The atmosphere is oddly light yet heavy, you really feel for Bruno as he flails about. The pacing has its quirks, sometimes lingering on moments that should feel lighter, which just adds to the charm. And the performances? They’ve got this rawness that really pulls you in. You can’t help but appreciate how it tackles themes of redemption and despair with a whimsical touch. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill comedy.
