Barney Panofsky jew is a television producer who lives in Montreal, where he collects wives and whiskey bottles. Loving son of a retired police officer with the vice of sex and anecdotes, Barney is being urged by the ambitions and the calumnies of the detective O'Hear, convinced by his years of involvement in the disappearance of Boogie, a friend and writer with licentious. After the release of O'Hear's book, which accuses him of murder and all kinds of meanness, Barney decides to give his version of events, tracing the his (mis) education sentimental and his outsized life and consumed in the sixties and persevered in Canada. Between a hockey game and a breath of Monte Cristo, the irrepressible Barney, recalled her first marriage to a painter and suicidal esistanzialista, review the second marriage to a billionaire and a Jewish nymphomaniac and reconsiders the mistakes made by his third wife and beloved , graceful speaker and mother of his two sons.
A simply beautiful film in my opinion. Told well, played even better and full of emotion. I went to see him without any expectations and I came out pleasantly surprised, impressed and even moved, I admit. A film that for me that I have not read the book, is a continuous discovery, where you wanted to end up and when we got to the point, the film has brought us to a whole other part that I, personally, I did not expect. Characters are rich in grit and personality are interwoven with other less strong for the perfect blend of laughter, jokes, grins and tears. I found Paul Giamatti in the role of Barney sublime and amazing as always Dustin Hoffman in the role of his father. Recommend to go see it in these "dark days" of good movies.
