Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Returning to their hilltop village for the funeral of their mother, a Roman judge (Philippe Noiret), a teacher of underprivileged Neapolitan children (Vittorio Mezzogiorno) and a Turin mechanic with marital problems (Michele Placido) end up discussing how they've drifted apart and try to renew ties with their ageing father (Charles Vanel). Adapted from Platonov's story, The Third Son, this is a laboured, if unexpectedly lyrical allegory on the social, cultural and political antagonisms that divide modern Italy. However, director Francesco Rosi isn't prepared to rest there and also explores such weighty topics as the age gap, terrorism and death. Overloaded, but emotive.
