Charleston

Marcello Fondato constructs this comedy as a multi-layered caper, directly relying on the successful blueprint of 'The Sting' with its clever cons and reality-bending twists. The film explores the Italian flair for theatrical farce, populating the classic plot with eccentric local color and broadly drawn characters.

Those who tire of simplistic humor will appreciate the intricate dance of schemes and the sheer charm of the bumbling yet persistent con artists. What lingers after the final reveal is the delight of a well-played game, even if the players are lovable rogues. — MovieFinder Editorial
