This was the first Italian film that I have seen, and as a film student I was prepared for the worst, but I was proved wrong.
This film is like an emotional roller-coaster, one minute your laughing at Paolo's sarcasm and the next your crying at Gianni's hardship.
My favourite part of the film, is when the pair are writing the letter to Paolo's pen pal - the whole "period" fiasco had the entire cinema in stitches!
The end of this film is left open ended, so you leave the cinema wondering about the father-son relationship and if they will remain as close as they had become throughout the film.
I would definitely recommend this film, as it is directed and shot beautifully and the actors are simply great.
