Movie: Mio fratello è figlio unico


Stop. Italian movie time!

I saw "Mio fratello è figlio unico" three days ago by streaming it through Netflix. So far I'm not impressed by Netflix's Italian online movie viewing experience, it lacks any sign of modern Italian cinema. And although I'm enticed to watch 1960's "Playgirls and the vampire", I may just start ordering the DVDs over the mail. I liked the movie, it is centered around a boy who falls in and out of love with fascim during an era of political turmoil in post fascist Italy. I particularly enjoyed the dynamics of the family, it gave me insight into the Italian personalities of family members. It also allowed me to see certain cultural parallels between Italians and Latinos.
