Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Agostino is a 13-year-old boy on vacation in Venice with his widowed mother. When a local stud seduces her, jealous Agostino joins a local group of juvenile delinquents out of protest. They force him to face his budding sexuality..
