Movie Reviews of The Best Of Youth
Movie Review: Whopping 6 hours long but didn't want it to end...6 stars!
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie was a winner of the Cannes Film Festival Award, the Golden Space Needle Award and numerous others. And this unforgettable movie lives up to its billing even if it was a whopping 6 hour Italian movie with sub titles. After a slow building start, it is difficult to pull yourself away from a story of the Carati family. Two brothers are the main characters and they take divergent paths through various periods of Italy's history beginning in the 60's and working forward. Life issues come and go and the Director pulls you in to feel the highs and lows of the players - the pain, the joys, the longing, the suffering, the strength of family. I was moved by this movie and the beautiful vistas where it is set. Highly recommended.
Movie Review: 6-hours Deep
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of you interested in watching this film will shy away because of it's 6-hrs running time. But once you start watching this great masterpiece from Italy, you'll forget about time and won't think of this film as 6 hours long but 6 hours deep. Because of it's length, the film takes us through this novel-like story where unpredictable circumstances happen to the characters and the story. After watching this film, other great films might seem like short stories while this a novel. It is simply amazing to watch a film and care the same for every character in the film, the cast was superb in this film. If you love movies, and don't simply watch movies for entertainment but also for their art then this movie is highly recommended.Movie Review: An absolutely brilliant movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this movie not expecting much and was absolutely blow away. The movie follows a typical Italian family from the early 1960's through to the 2000's. What I absolutely loved is, how the director Marco Tulio Giordana inserted factual historic events into the movie as we followed the family's life, such as the floods in Florence (1966) and further on, the assassination of the anti-mafia Judge Falcone (1992). This movie is filmed in numerous locations throughout Italy; Turin, Rome, Milan, Palermo and the wonderful scenery of the Tuscan region. Note: This movie is a 2 DVD set. So make plans to set a side 2 nights to see it, along with a bottle of your favorite red wine. You wouldn't regret it.Movie Review: The Best of Youth
Summary: 5 Stars
An absolutely beautiful movie, in every way. Spanning a period of some 40 years and weaving the social and political history of Italy into the lives of the main characters, it does it with splendid acting, cinematography, and writing. The music, evocative of the particular time periods of the movie, always enhances the scene in subtle but understated ways. The movie has humor and tragedy but never becomes maudlin or melodramatic, as American films often do.
If you've been to Italy, you will appreciate the wonderful scenes of Sicily, Rome, Turin, and Florence.
For anyone who appreciates fine Italian films, this is certainly one of them.
Movie Review: The Best of Cinema!
Summary: 5 Stars
La Meglio Gioventu (The Best of Youth). Italian cinema has always been special, but this is a fully mature cinema surpassing American and British work at its best. It is like reading a good book, letting you forget who you think you are and opening your heart to another life. It does take an oldish mind to get the most out of it. What the artists have attempted here is very difficult to pull off, but for me they have done it. Six hours of film, so it requires a large block of your time away from distractions to be a good audience for it. Happily, it is in Italian, with English subtitles, so you can enjoy hearing la lingua italiana bella, which is, after all, always the best part.
