🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director bets on details: a gesture, a glance, a pause. In a good drama this is what says the most — and that principle is upheld here.
Worth watching if you're in the mood for serious cinema. Not background viewing — it demands attention.
For viewers who can watch slow cinema and value the human element in stories.
Director: Gianni Amelio

Best Watched
Viewing atmosphere: In quiet, in the evening. Better alone or with someone who watches films seriously.
