Il riassunto In Roberta Torre’s “true story of Romeo and Julet”, Toni Giulietto is a vulnerable street singer and Little Tony-impersonator (who is himself an Italian Elvis-impersonator) who is constantly deceived and hoodwinked by almost everyone he knows. Romea is an attractive Nigerian immigrant who sells sex on the streets of Palermo to pay off her huge fee to the man who smuggled her in to the country. Various characters plot against each other and the plots, which draw in people from all the different social strata, spiral out of control as the tug-of-war between these different factions of Sicilian society is fought to the last.

Il commento Una versione di Romeo e Giulietta etnica, colorata e musicale. Non sempre tutto gira benissimo, a volte la sovrapposizione tra il mondo iperrealistico e quello surreale non funzionaissima, ma le scenografie kitch sono deliziose, le canzoni piacciono, i riferimenti pop non sono scontati. Grazioso.
