Review of Commesse

Commesse (1999–2002)
8/10
fantastic Italian mini-series
4 June 2010
i saw this recently, which is about 10 years after it was made,thats because i don't remember it ever having been on Greek TV,even though its Italian and could have easily been shown over here.Rather,i bought this on disc because some of my favorite Italian actresses are in it,and also i read it was pretty successful when originally broadcast in Italy. Its really unfortunate this is not much better known because it has quality written all over it.The acting is flawless all around,impeccably written and directed,it also enjoys a nice music theme,actually i cant find anything wrong to write about.Its one of those precious few productions where it seems everything clicks. The IMDb rating is way-way too law,don't be fooled this is easily over an 8+. For some strange reason,IMDb lists last in the credit list actor Franco Castellano who plays one of the main characters,the gay male member of the group,an exceptional performance. The mini-series consists of 6 episodes ,each one concentrating on one of the main characters and also following the rest as the story progresses. Absolutely not to be missed,the only problem is the DVD only exists in Australia which is where got it from.
