Commissario Montalbano Youtube8/27/2020
Why is Detective Montalbanos trusted colleague Mimi Augello suddenly.For disciplinary reasons he is transferred to the Alpine town of Aosta, far from his beloved.
There, under the command of Commissioner Palma, he will lead a team. Hes a parish priest who never met an unjustly accused person he didnt want to help. Filmed in the ancient, sun-washed Sicilian city of Ragusa Ibla, the series is based on the international best-selling mystery novels by Andrea Camilleri and stars Luca Zingaretti. Inspector Montalbano is one of the best and most entertaining examples. It is not easy breathing freshness into a well-worn genre but Inspector Montalbano manages to do so with aplomb. Watching Inspector Montalbano is, as said in my review summary and one that to me is apt, like eating a delicious Italian meal that immensely satisfies and leaves you wanting more. There may be very familiar tropes, but in a way its inevitable and doesnt detract from the enjoyment at all. A couple of stories (like last nights The Mud Pyramid) may not be as engrossing as most others, or have the most logical, easy-to-follow-entirely plots or the most cooked-all-the-way-through denouements, but this doesnt matter when far outweighed by the rest of the show being so good. If you love all things Italian (with them having some of the best scenery, food and music of any country) and love detective mystery dramas, Inspector Montalbano will be right up your alley most likely. Its beautifully shot always and the scenery is stunning, making those whove never been to Italy want to book a holiday there as soon as possible. The music is never over-bearing or low-key with a nice atmosphere and flavour. The subtitles are not hard to follow, while the cases are absorbing and rarely feel convoluted while suitably challenging the viewer. The characters may be stereotypes but well-written ones, especially one of the most fascinating foreign detective mystery dramas titular characters there is to me and the scene-stealing Catarella (hilarious comic relief but more than that). Acting is terrific, especially from Luca Zigaretti who is a treasure in the title role. Angelo Russos comic timing is a refreshing and always perfectly timed joy. Direction is always paced beautifully and tight while sometimes appropriately deliberate.
