Mio Fratello è Figlio Unico

After the huge success of "The Best of Youth" comes another tale of two very different brothers. While the film is well written and acted, it doesn't offer anything new or different but more of the same. The story is about two brothers growing up in a small town where the father works in the factory and the mother waits for the promised housing. The sons struggling for a sense of identity; while the older become a communist and later a criminal, the younger starts out with taste for priesthood before he joins the fascist movement and later the communist party. The only thing that keeps the brothers together is their love for each other and their family. Director Daniele Luchetti gets some wonderful performances from his cast, specially the leads.
