Montalbano is a trip to Sicily without the airport
I have all of the Montalbano DVD's. I have also read all of the Camilleri books in this series. " Potter's Field" has everything the book has and more. Perfect timing and perfect blend of comedy and pathos. The second DVD "The Seagull's Dance" is not a script from a book (yet?) and it is less comic and more serious than most of the others. The new twist here is that Fazio goes missing and Montalbano's task is to find him (and hope he finds him alive). It's worth watching and I enjoyed it (and would buy it again), but I missed the comic elements that I've come to look forward to.
Camilleri's sense of the world and the fairness that he treat us to with Montalbano's obvious respect for all of his characters no matter how unconventional/outlandish/poor etc., is just one of the elements that makes me enjoy this series more than I can say.
Oh and one last thing....glad to see Montalbano swimming again. The ladies will understand.
meraviglioso!
The essence of Sicily and the Italian language captured in the Montalbano series. The English captions enhance the understanding of the circuitous plots. The characters are wonderful and well developed. I can hardly wait for more. I have the entire translated series of books and captioned DVDS.
Montalbano
I love the Montalbano DVD's. I have purchased them all and they are witty, amusing, well acted and well produced.
