The Best of Youth (2003): a guest review by J. Robert Parks

This is a guest review contributed by J. Robert Parks.


How can I convince you to devote six hours of your life to a single movie? Especially when that movie is an Italian film starring actors you’ve probably never heard of. And unlike Hollywood’s marketing obsessions, there’s no sex, little violence, and no special effects. Why would anyone travel up to Chicago’s Music Box theater (starting this Friday) for such a thing when spring is hopefully around the corner?

Well, let me put it this way. You may not find a richer, more engrossing story than The Best of Youth all year long.
