Malèna
is so beautiful, all the men want to fuck her and the women want to skin her
alive. Outside of their prying eyes, she gains an understanding observer in
Renato. While he is still taken with her beauty, he also cares for her and
doesn’t want her harmed by the people of the village.
The
film is set in Italy during the war and as such, everyone is suspicious and
perhaps more unforgiving than they would normally be. They gossip about Malèna and doubt her
faithfulness to her husband while he fights in the army. The men all ogle her
and try anything to get close to her. Although the men are ridiculous, it’s the
women that surprised me. They’re so vicious and cruel to Malèna. The film was good
but it all seemed a bit overly dramatic, although I think that was intended.
