The Back Pages is a 2017 drama film that focuses on the life of a young man named Fabiano Altamura, played by the actor of the same name, who works at a local newspaper company. The movie is set in the early 2000s and takes place in Southern Italy. Fabiano is a passionate writer who wants to excel in his career and move up the ranks at the newspaper company. He dreams of writing articles that will make an impact and help to bring about positive change in his community.

However, Fabiano's pursuit of his dreams is not without challenges. The newspaper he works for is struggling, and there is a constant threat of layoffs. Fabiano's boss, who is also his friend, is under considerable pressure to make cutbacks and is pushing Fabiano to write stories that will help the company generate more revenue. Fabiano is torn between his personal ambitions and the immediate needs of the company. He is also grappling with his own sense of identity, which is being shaped by the changing social and political landscape of Italy.

The Back Pages is a slow-burning character study that takes us deep into Fabiano's world. We see him navigate the complexities of his personal and professional life. We witness his successes and his failures, and we get a glimpse of the larger forces at play that are shaping his destiny. Along the way, we meet a host of other characters who populate Fabiano's world. These include his colleagues at the newspaper, his family, his friends, and the people he encounters as part of his work as a journalist.

The Back Pages is a beautiful film that is shot with a visual flair that captures the beauty and essence of Southern Italy. The film's director, Lorenzo De Vita, has created a stunning portrait of life in Italy at the turn of the millennium. His attention to detail is extraordinary, and he has a keen eye for capturing the small moments that make life so rich and rewarding. The music, composed by Francesco Attanasio, is also a highlight of the film, and perfectly complements the tone and mood of the story.

What makes The Back Pages so compelling, however, is the central performance by Fabiano Altamura. Fabiano is a natural talent, and his portrayal of Fabiano is both understated and deeply emotional. He manages to convey the character's inner struggles and conflicts with a remarkable degree of nuance, and he imbues Fabiano with a quiet dignity that is both impressive and inspiring. Altamura is supported by a talented cast that includes Vincenzo Alfieri, Valentina Romani, and Rossella Brescia, all of whom deliver powerful performances.

Overall, The Back Pages is a remarkable film that tells a deeply human story about the pursuit of our dreams and the challenges that we all face along the way. It is a movie that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled. If you are a fan of independent cinema and are looking for a thought-provoking drama that will touch your heart and stir your soul, then The Back Pages is a movie you do not want to miss.
