Movie of the weekend up FIRST Art, the FIRSTonline magazine dedicated to the world of art and culture, is another apparently successful film: a "The perfect deception", directed by Bill Condon and two masterful interpreters, Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen, our expert Patrizio Rossano awarded 4 out of five stars. The genre is one of those always highly appreciated: the scam. Along the lines of what has already been seen in past masterpieces such as TotòTruffa, The Sting, The Mastermind of the Scam, this film really seems to be worth the price of admission.
The story tells the story of a professional swindler who behind the apparent appearance of a quiet businessman hides an unexpected and unsuspecting criminal and violent nature, just as a professional swindler should be, and of a victim, perhaps only apparently so. It is a thriller and we can't tell you much more so as not to take away the pleasure of finding out how it will end, in a hard, bitter and surprisingly political way because it will take the whole story back to 60 years earlier, during the Second World War in Germany, where the protagonists come from.
