MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN

Recommended. A summer comedy musical shot on the Croatian island of Vis pretending the fictitious Greek island of Kalokairi. Made me both laugh and shed a tear. "If you love, you're willing to die for her!" "Yes, but you don't have to. It's an important distinction." or "It's karma and it's pronounced 'Ha!'" are examples of the amusing bits. But a broken heart comes into the equasion too. Two parallel stories, led swiftly, converge into one beautifully. Also fashion in the costumes presents a cross of the 1970s and of 2018: bell-bottoms and suntan of the 70s, open arms from this season and floral patterns of the past which have made a come back a few years ago and stayed till now. An immigration officer commenting on people's hair-cuts is an ironic addition. A post-credit of him makes you leave the cinema with a broad smile.
