CGiii Comment

Elegant and sensitive...

Two brothers...one gay, one straight...

What makes this unusual is that a stable, gay relationship is pitted against the disastrous roundabout of love affairs of the straight brother...

Tognazzi has produced a mature and intelligent look into the laxities of love - that fickle condition.

There is a gentle rise of emotion, culminating in a defining moment...for both brothers...

Expect to shed a few tears...for the story and for yourself...

Elegant and sensitive filmmaking.
