A foggy day in Milan
It is a foggy day in Milan, one of those that seemed to no longer exist, as if it had come out from a novel of another time, from a ballad of distant days…. Luca Restelli as usual, is going to the newspaper where he works for the literary pages, those pages that nobody consider. He is not yet forty years old, but his tastes are quite “old”, like the fog of that very morning: he thrives on literary and cinematographic references, between insecurities and a bit of superb contempt for the indolent and careerist world that surrounds him.
Suddenly a piece of news arrives: a murder in Corso Vercelli (one of the most glamorous street in Milan), a man was shot to dead, a woman was arrested. The editorial staff is silent, sleepy, Restelli proposes himself, he has always liked crime news. But he is shocked when he discovers the victim\’s name. Giovanni Restelli. His father.
From this moment Luca will start investigating, and he decides to move in parallel with the police to find out who killed his father. To do this he will be helped by Giorgio Finnekens, a brilliant writer, who spends his life between books, girlfriends and many drinks.Vanzina describes the “other” Italian capital in “Un giornata di nebbia a Milano”. The result is an extraordinary noir, elegant, irreverent, brilliant and unexpected like the couple of protagonists that animates it.
Enrico Vanzina, son of the great director Steno, one of the founders of Italian comedy, has lived in the world of cinema since he was born. In 1976 he started writing screenplays and since then has collaborated with the major exponents of our cinema. During the last forty years he has signed, together with his brother Carlo, some of the biggest success of the Italian box office.
