I'm Starting from Three

1981 · 107 min Comedy
7.6 / 10 · TMDB

Gaetano, a young Neapolitan, packs his suitcase one day and leaves behind his hometown, job, and friends. His journey takes him north to Milan, where he hopes to find a new life and meet different people. The clash between his southern temperament and the cold, business-like efficiency of the north sparks a series of absurd situations. He attempts to find work, rent a room, and decipher local customs, but his naivety and blunt honesty repeatedly land him in hilariously awkward predicaments.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Massimo Troisi's film is more than a situational comedy; it's a sharp satire on the cultural divide within a single nation. The hero, played by the director himself, uses his guilelessness to expose the hypocrisy and bustle of the big city.

What lingers after the viewing is the poignant, funny portrait of a man lost between his past and future. The film leaves you with a bittersweet smile and Gaetano's peculiar phrases echoing in your mind. — MovieFinder Editorial
