(aka "I Nostri Ragazzi" or "Our Kids")
directed by Ivano De Matteo
Italy 2014
Paolo (Luigi Lo Cascio,
GOOD MORNING, NIGHT) is a doctor who works with
children, his wife Clara (Giovanna Mezzogiorno,
VINCERE) is a museum docent, and his son Michele (Jacopo
Olmo Antinori,
ME AND YOU) is an acne-scarred high school misfit who
watches JACKASS and fail videos on his phone when he
should be studying. Paolo's brother Massimo (Alessandro Gassman,
THE BANKERS OF GOD: THE CALVI AFFAIR) is a
high-powered defense attorney living in an ultra-modern
apartment with his younger second wife Sofia (Barbora Bobulova,
THE
SPECTATOR), newborn son, and teenager daughter Benedetta
(GAME OF THRONES' Rosabell Laurenti Sellers) from his
previous marriage. When a young off-duty cop is an active
participant in a road rage incident that leaves a man dead and
his son mortally wounded, Paolo gets to express righteous
outrage when he discovers that Massimo is defending the cop.
When a homeless woman is brutally beaten on a night when Michele
and Benedetta have stayed out late for a party, and the security
camera footage is aired on a national true crime show by the
police seeking information about the perpetrators (a young man
and a young woman), Paolo is in denial when both Massimo and
Clara voice their suspicions about their own children. As the
evidence builds up against them and perceived parental failings
become evident in the children's lack of regard for what they
have done and taking for granted that their parents will shield
them from the consequences of their actions, ethics and family
loyalty is swept aside, and one side of the family may be hung
out to dry. |

Comments |
Film Movement's
progressive, anamorphic presentation of this 35mm-lensed feature
looks a tad flat and softish due to the film's emphasis on low
light and shallow focus. Grain becomes more pronounced in dark
shots, although this appears to be a stylistic choice equating
the darkened rooms of the characters' apartments with the back
alley in which the victim was discovered. The Dolby Digital 5.1
and 2.0 tracks are reasonably immersive for a talk-heavy film
with more atmosphere than directional effects in the surround
channels. The optional English subtitles are without errors
(English closed captioning is also included). |
