The Best of Youth Matteo Visits Nicola Georgia

Full DVD available here: http://tinyurl.com/2hn76o Meryl Streep once described the 6 hour epic as her favorite film. It tracks two brothers, representing Italy's two sides, from the 1960s through the 2000s. Here Matteo visits Nicola and Giorgia after many years. If you like Northern Exposure, you will probably appreciate Best of Youth. Great, dense movie. Subtitles.

i believe georgia is the only person who understands matteo is so lonely soul, although she can't express it verbally.

@MadameRimbaud Già. In fondo è semplice: ci sono gli attori, e le capre. Questi sono attori.

@ztruffles Hi, just saw your question...I tutored Riccardo Scamarcio. Got to spend a lot of fun times together with him & his friends while he visited NY. Riccardo is an incredibly talented actor with a real respect for the art of acting. Plus, he's one of the funnest & funniest people I've had a chance to meet. Riccardo is in one of the last scenes in the film. An outstanding actor & person! I hope to see him soon in US film projects!

ztruffles, thank you so much for uploading these clips from The Best of Youth. I do hope people will be interested and watch the whole movie.

I've seen it at least ten times. :-)

I kinda felt that Matteo was more of an optomist than Nicola and that was why he was unable to cope with the vile and imperfections of the world while Nicola could. When they were both unable to save Guilia Nicola was sad but moved on...Matteo just fell apart unable to deal with the reality that there are horrible people in the world and you can't save everyone.

How can you bear to watch this film every other year. I don't think I could ever get myself to watch it more than once. It's a very good film, but it just completely tears you apart emotionally. I think only a masochist can keep watching it over and over.
