Editorial Reviews

Italy released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: Italian ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), Italian ( Dolby DTS 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), Italian ( Subtitles ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Biographies, Cast/Crew Interview(s), Filmographies, Interactive Menu, Making Of, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: In this bizarre and darkly comic fantasy, Antonio (Sergio Rubini) is a man who was born with unusually large incisors; his freakishly huge teeth make him an outcast from his peers as a child, and he attempts more than once to break off the offending choppers. The emotionally fragile Antonio was further devastated at the age of 12 when his mother (Anouk Grinberg) died, and as a man, he's become obsessive and controlling in his relationships with women. Antonio is convinced that his girlfriend Mara (Anita Caprioli) has been unfaithful to him -- with her dentist (Tom Novembre), of course. After Antonio confronts Mara in a moment of anger, she responds with rage, and strikes him in the face with a large ashtray, breaking off one of his teeth. Antonio now must travel across the land, going from dentist to dentist in search of someone who can make a crown that will suit his extra-large smile. Denti was shown in competition at the 2000 Venice Film Festival. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Malaga Spanish Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, ...Teeth ( Denti )

5.0 out of 5 stars Move over Dr. Giggles, June 1, 2006
By 
This review is from: Teeth ( Denti ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Italy ] (DVD)
Playing on the universal fear of dentists, Gabriele Salvatores's DENTI revolves around Antonio (Sergio Rubini). Burdened with an unruly set of choppers, Antonio feels that teeth carry cosmic importance. After a fight with his girlfriend, Mara (Anita Caprioli) about her possible romantic involvement with her dentist, Luca (Tom Novembre), Antonio begins to experience strong memories when his tongue hits a freshly damaged tooth.

"What are my teeth hiding?" "Is there a stomatological connection to memory?" These are the questions Antonio asks himself as he searches for the truth hidden among his teeth. He helps find some of these via Dr. Cagnano (Paolo Villaggio)--a rather unconventional dentist--and from memories of his saintly mother (Anouk Grinberg) and oversexed uncle (Fabrizio Bentivoglio).

When hearing the premise of DENTI, I was afraid that it might be comparable to Manny Coto's DR. GIGGLES (1992) or reminiscent of the dentistry torture of John Schlesinger's MARATHON MAN. Instead, DENTI is a stylishly shot and wonderfully paced tale of prognathism, love, family, and memory.
