Nos plus belles années

I bet everyone in their 50's will find connection with at least one character in this lovely Italian film.

"Gli anni più belli" portraits 40 years in the life of four friends whose personal stories intersects recent history. On the steps of Lelouch "Bolero" and Scola's "C'eravamo tanto amati", which is explicitly quoted. Although the movie develops on the edge of mannerism and can be fairly accused of lacking subtlety in some of its topic scenes (as often with Muccino's work), its message is true and powerful: the best years are the ones we dare to live fully. Love is not the romantic fantasy that happens to you in Hollywood movies, it is not a commodity, but it is an ongoing practice of care, respect, forgiveness for others. Connection is the answer. All actors deliver great performances (Ramazzotti in particular). The movie is packed with quotations from Italian classics which will please movie lovers.

A story about friendship during 40 years Everybody is going his and her own way. This movie made me think about my own life. Which was in a sense also a movie with many friendships, and some people are more lucky then others. I really don t understand why this movie has a very low rating... Why? People are afraid to see a movie about feelings Don t believe them , it s well made and it makes you write a comment

This is a film about our lives: sometimes hilarious, sometimes sad, but always real. In general, this is a film about forgiveness.

What a film. It's about love, honest and sincere love. About mistakes, forgiveness, desire, friendship and love again. A film that has touched me incredibly.
