Youth

May 31, 20168:30pm

Sorrentino’s follow up to The Great Beauty sees an ageing conductor with his old friend in an Alpine spa. Together they reflect on life while fending off an envoy from the Queen to stage a royal gala.

A beautiful ode to music and cinema. … There are elements of Fellini and Bill Forsyth’s Local Hero in the mix of nostalgia, musings on contemporary life and anecdotes. The story is told so far in the abstract that it never feels triteThe Independent

Youth is a film that goes its own way. Quixotic, idiosyncratic, effortlessly moving, it’s as much a cinematic essay as anything else, a meditation on the wonders and complications of life, an examination of what lasts, of what matters to people no matter their age.” Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
