The Best of Youth / La Meglio giovent√π / Italy / 2003

A fully absorbing tale of two brothers whose divergent lives mirror the tumultuous history of Italy over the past four decades. It was difficult not to marvel at the subtlety with which the movie unfolded, especially in comparison to how Hollywood has handled (or I should say, butchered) similarly-themed material (think Forrest Gump). Actors Luigi Lo Cascio and Alessio Boni turn in multi-faceted performances as the brothers, while even the characters around them who appear fleetingly make a vivid impression. After six hours, I wanted to pop it back in the DVD player and watch it all over again.
