Italy/France/2007/104 mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Daniele Luchetti. With Elio Germano, Riccardo Scamarcio, Diane Fleri.

A thoroughly enjoyable family saga that balances drama with social critique, this is the powerful story of two brothers growing up in Italy in the 1960s. They are diametrically opposed — physically, emotionally and politically, and their underlying love and affection is tested to the limits when one becomes a militant communist and the other an angry neo-fascist.

A subtle and moving story about the ties that bind which also offers a telling portrait of one of the most troubled periods of Italian history and stays true to the mixture of exhilaration and intoxication that exploded in the tragic years of terrorism.

"shows the tremendous energy of which contemporary Italian movies are capable" - The Guardian
