365 Days: This Day – Review : 2/5

STORY: The unfortunate accident is now a thing of the past, and Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) and Massimo (Michele Morrone) are happily married in Sicily. The complex life of a mafia kingpin, however, is often riddled with betrayal and somehow the wife gets entangled in it. If you are here ONLY for the sex, stay. Otherwise, don’t bother.

REVIEW: What is the secret combination to delivering an erotica that both stimulates the audience’s sexual organs and teases their brains with a fulfilling script? If the ‘Fifty Shades’ series is your answer, you need to stop right there.

The sequel to Netflix’s smash ‘365 Days’ (2020) is a classic instance of why a good pantyhose, and pity sex, cannot cover up for outrageously bland acting. Oh, and, if we haven’t mentioned already, a script so bad that it made us wonder if it had even undergone any edits after the first draft was produced.

Clearly, the makers were counting on good looks and beefy men and sexually liberated women to replicate its pandemic-induced success. Nothing wrong in wanting to milk a rager one last time. What the directors—Tomasz Mandes and Barbara Białowąs—failed to predict is that the relaxed rules pertaining to the pandemic have evoked a strong urge for refined shows within the television-consuming community. With ‘365 Days: This Day’, the reliability on raunchy sex and BDSM was so intense that the team—collectively—forgot one fundamental rule of movie making: content is king.

Having said that, feel free to indulge if you are in it just for a ‘good release’—pardon my French—it is sexual heaven. Those bosom-hugging lacy lingeries brushing against pumped-up biceps and ripped abs could have even made the glaciers melt. We are mere mortals! Beautiful—BEAUTIFUL!—Anna-Maria Sieklucka and Michele Morrone have an amazing chemistry in bedroom; sex dieties you didn’t know you had to seek inspiration from. Interestingly, Magdalena Lamparska’s Olga has her own conquests in this instalment. Matuesz Cierlica must have envisioned Sicily (and all of Italy) as nature’s finest creation for she sure captured Her that way: gorgeous people placed against surreal landscapes.

But—and it’s a long and hard ‘but’—what in the world was going on behind the scenes during the production phase of the movie? They incorporated an end number of songs that literally echoed back the dialogues that were just mouthed by the actors in that moment: ‘Forever Young’ when the girl pals are reminiscing their childhood. Or, say, the lack of even basic understanding of acting and the painful experience of us having to actually sit through it. Other than sex, all the four actors have performed—as in cinematically—quite badly. And there’s no better way of saying this. The emotional scenes reek of melodrama (when that was not the intent), among other glaring discrepancies.

Get it, ‘365 Days’ has seemingly become this mammoth cash machine for Netflix and from what the reports suggest, there’s going to be more of it. For a curious teenager, it is straight-up paradise. For adults with a penchant for practicality, this film is plain brain-freeze material.
