La critique de James Berardinelli
Puccini for Beginners has a lot less to do with opera than it has to do with a sit-com view of life in the Big City. Not that the approach is inherently bad, and director Maria Maggenti has fashioned a reasonably entertaining movie that borrows heavily from Woody Allen, Sex in the City, and Seinfeld. Her view of New York is that of a big neighborhood where there are no crowds, the sidewalks are clean, and people talk to one another. Maggenti, like Allen, has done for New York what so many directors have done for Paris. (And she actually filmed in New York, not in some other city made up to look like it.)°°°
