4.0 out of 5 stars An impressive first feature from Gianni Amelio, September 9, 2010
This review is from: Blow to the Heart ( Colpire al cuore ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Italy ] (DVD)
An intelligent, sad, slow moving film. It explores the rift between a

smart, shy teen age boy, and his professor father, who he discovers is

quietly helping a woman connected to the Red Brigade after she is

involved in a terrorist killing.

The acting is generally quite good, and the film has some really moving

moments, while raising interesting questions of family, morality, and the

pain of coming to see a parent as a deeply flawed person.

On the down side, Jean Louis Trintignant is awkwardly dubbed into

Italian, and there are times when the meditative pace feels needlessly

slow.

Certainly very impressive as a first feature. I look forward to

re-seeing it at some point.
