I waited a long time before I took the plunge again.

I am watching one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is so fulfilling. I am in heaven.

La meglio gioventù / The Best of Life (2003)

I don't know why I have not bought this film.

But I will.

It is the story of an Italian family over a period of time from the Sixties to the present day.

Two sons, a father and mother. The sons choose different paths. One a doctor and a bit of a political radical. The other becomes a cop.

There are no words to capture the warmth of this movie. And, I must add, that is a good thing because it is six hours long.

I watched the first third today and will finish it up in the next two days.

Oh. It is a 5 out of Netflix5. The best.

There are many versions of this film. Even two hours. Another four. Sacrilege. The full six hours. The only way.
