A tone-deaf disappointment, tackling dramatic material in the manner of an overly broad, lost-in-translation commedia all'italiana.
Full reviewFrom French filmmaker Philippe Claudel (I've Loved You So Long), a romantic comedy following a widowed father of two eccentric children attempting to rebuild his life.
"Alessandro is an Italian professor of baroque music living in Strasbourg with his daughter, Irina, 15, in mid-teenage crisis, and his brother Crampone, a delightfully anarchist who has repeatedly applied for refugee status ever since Berlusconi came to power. Alessandro sometimes feels like he’s raising two teenagers, but is unable to acknowledge the void of his own existence. In trying too hard to be a model father, he forgot to rebuild his love life after the death of his beloved wife... But as his daughter discovers the thrill of first love, Alessandro’s life is unexpectedly transformed." (French Film Festival 2012)
