The post ”ALL OF US STRANGERS” OFFICIALLY OPENING “CAPRI, HOLLYWOOD FESTIVAL 2023”. ON DEC 27 – 7.30 PM IN CAPRI AUDITORIUM first appeared on Capri Film Festival.

The events of this movie take place in the concluding stages of World War One, depicting how the reality of war demoralizes soldiers through the tale of a young German soldier. Simultaneously, we follow the journey of a diplomat who attempts to stop the mayhem and rescue some lives along the way.

Paul Bäumer and his friends are eager to fight on the front lines, seize French territory, and triumphantly head back home. Sadly, once Paul finds himself inside a trench, unprepared and wearing another soldier’s outfit, things get worse.

On the website Rotten Tomatoes it has an average rating of 8.1/10. The website’s consensus reads, “Both timely and timeless… retains the power of its classic source material by focusing on the futility of war.” and also “An outstanding update to an all-time classic, All Quiet on the Western Front puts you right there on the battlefield — and reminds you once again that war is truly hell”.

Mark James Kermode, the chief film critic for The Observer, says it is “visually very, very impressive, overwhelming, and grueling.” “It is harrowing of course … and it should be.”

Jerry Calà tells “Capri, Hollywood,” which presents him with a lifetime achievement award on Dec. 30.

“I have already made inspections in Monte di Procida, which is an extraordinary place, but I will also set the story in Ischia because I want people to return to this beautiful island as a place of cinema, famous for it since the 1960s. At the center of the story will be the kidnapping of a star, I cannot say more, it will be with a Neapolitan production company and with Neapolitan actors.”

He was the face of the 1980s, a decade for which people are beginning to feel nostalgia, not only in the movies. “A lot,” says the actor, “Even today’s kids like those movies because it’s clear that we had a lot more fun back then, there was more enthusiasm. We can consider them as sharp photographs of those years, from the boors of Christmas Vacation to the upstarts of Yuppis. Today economic conditions have changed: a boy could no longer ‘move out on his own’ especially with the prices in Milan! And anyway, if they stay at home, I don’t think it’s the fault of what they call bamboccioni, but of over-protective parents.”

In Capri, a career that started with the success of Gatti di Vicolo Miracoli, passed through iconic comedies but also a more committed cinema, will also be told in music. “I worked with Marco Ferreri, in Diary of a Vice, earning me the Italian critics’ prize in Berlin. Too bad then that we were not able to make a second project together again. Then with Avati, Marco Risi, understood that I could also do something else. Let’s say, however, that my comic side got the upper hand, and the audience then you have to respect it. I still do more than a hundred nights a year and play Maracaibo. But I’m a 70-year-old who is still young. And ready for other roles as well!”.
