Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who loves a strong drama. If you loved The Deer Hunter or Born on the Fourth of July, start here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 26 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.

A writer returns home to his estate after service in World War I. He has developed a very bad case of depression due to a war wound concerning his genitalia. He contemplates suicide, but recovers after becoming interested in his caretaker's 12 year-old war orphan niece, who now lives in the manor.
