I finished seeing

La meglio gioventù / The Best of Youth (2003)

This is the second time through. I am buying the DVD so I can watch it again in a while.

Some years in the Sixties and some people who are living through them. A couple of generations. Two brothers and a sister. Contrasts.

This is a great film and well worth the investment of time and emotion.

I am wiped out from the experience. And I sort of knew how it comes out. I will tell you. It comes out as life does.

How is that?

I am so fortunate to live at a time when this kind of experience can be had with a simple slide of a disc into a computer.

I am not much for going to the movies anymore. I hate the talking and recoil at the smell of popcorn.

But the invention of the DVD came just in time for me.

In this wonderful film there is time to get to know the people and how they interlace with each other's lives. How they live in what, indeed, were very special times.

This is a five on top of five rating. Beyond excellent. Always surprising and engaging even on the nth viewing.

Sorry about the ads before but that is how you get stuff for free these days.
