Me and You (2012)
(Io e te)
Country: IT
Technical: col 96m
Director: Bernardo Bertolucci
Cast: Tea Falco, Jacopo Olmo Antinori, Sonia Bergamasco
Synopsis:
An introverted 14 year-old chooses to miss his class ski trip and lock himself in the basement of his apartment building, together with a box of junk food, his laptop, and the belongings of a former proprietor, a Countess. The latter come in handy when his half-sister arrives wanting to share his reclusion, while she goes 'cold turkey'.
Review:
An over-stretched but compellingly intimate drama of lost young souls, the young actors looking for the world like a juvenile Liv Tyler and Malcolm McDowell. There are elements of both The Dreamers and La Luna in the screenplay, but the flavour is distinct enough, as these two characters struggling to define themselves succeed in part in doing so in relation to each other, limning a sibling complicity denied to them during their upbringing by a father's inconstancy.
