"Betraying his documentarian background, Marcello interlaces vintage footage into the era and altogether, they sustain a holistically consistent visual fidelity (to a point you can very difficult to tell whether those shots are from archives or faithfully recreated). As astonishing as the film looks and as melodiously as it sounds, the kingpin here is Marinelli's central performance. Winning Venice's Best Actor honor, once a vicious whippersnapper in Gabriele Mainetti's THEY CALL ME JEEG (2015), he now can proudly proclaim himself as one of the most prominent leading man in the Italian cinema (new live-action DIABOLIK movie is already in the can), meanwhile we shouldn't forget his bash into Hollywood production as the tender gay immortal warrior in Gina Prince-Bythewood's THE OLD GUARD (2020), currently a sequel is in the pipeline."
