"Mi batte il corazon," the comedy starring Peppe Iodice, had a smashing debut, winning over audiences from day one. According to Cinetel data, the film achieved the highest average print run, with €1.194, making it the top Italian box office hit and second overall in terms of total releases.
Full theaters and engaged audiences enthusiastically welcomed Francesco Prisco's story: the film tells the story of a journalist for a small local station who leads an ordinary life until he dies of a heart attack. But during his funeral, he wakes up in his coffin and faces a personal hell of absurd bureaucracy, explosive confessions, and tender moments, discovering that second chances are above all about truly getting to know yourself.
"For me, this is a resounding achievement," Iodice said. "Seeing audiences fill theaters, laughing, and enjoying the film from day one is incredibly exciting. Mi batte il corazon was born with the idea of bringing lightness and making people feel good, and receiving such strong support from the audience is the greatest satisfaction."
Andrea and Alessandro Cannavale of Run Film, the film's producers and distributors, also expressed their satisfaction: "The packed theaters and the audience's enthusiasm are the best sign for a film that focuses on Peppe Iodice's comedy and energy. This result makes us proud and confirms the strong bond between Peppe and his audience."
Alongside Iodice, the cast includes Ivana Lotito, Francesco Procopio, Yari Gugliucci, Ivan Castiglione, Gianni Ferreri, Maria Bolignano, Francesco Mastandrea, Nicola Bello, Gianni Parisi, and Alan De Luca, with guest appearances by Antonio Milo and Gigi Savoia, and the film debut of Iodice's daughters, Sofia and Gloria. The soundtrack, composed by Adriano Pennino, features songs by Gigi D'Alessio and Gabriele Esposito, creating a blend of comedy, emotion, and music that has already captivated Italian audiences.

It seems like a nice film to me, but I don't know: the story is simple, the actor acts well, but the direction seems confused, and the tender moments are lacking. The theaters were full, but the audience was varied. There was laughter and silence, repeated scenes. The soundtrack is strong and sometimes out of place, but overall, the pace slows down and gets lost. However, it makes you feel good and you can feel the sincerity.
