Italian Films

Recently, I gave myself up entirely to Italian films. I will introduce my favorite Italian films.

At first, I recommend "The Best of Youth" to you. It plays for about six hours! Though that's too long, it is worth a lot of time. In spite of its long running time, I thought it was a pleasure to watch the film from the bottom of my heart.

The story is about an Italian family during the 1960s through to 2003. It's comprised of two parts. Part I is a little slow-paced while Part II is fast-paced. After watching the film, I feel as if I have understood some part of modern Italian history. Their positive approach to their life left the most profound impression on me.

Secondly, I introduce "I'm Not Scared" to you. I have never seen such a film. As the plot development brought endless surprises to me, I enjoyed watching it by the end, full of nervous excitement. The story is unique. I like this kind of story.

Finally, I want to let you know about "The Legend of 1900". It's a very beautiful story, but I regret that it's just fiction. I consider it possible to be such a man in the early 1900s. My favourite scene is a conversation between two men; the leading character in "1900" and his colleague "Max" at the end of the story. I think there is some Italian humour in it. I can understand that and so it became the striking scene for me.
