by far and the best movie i have see ever . epic and original and spell binding and deep and emotionally nuanced and artsy and and simply human . the main character evoke empathy from the very start . i guarantee there will be at least a single character you will be able to deeply relate to . if you be wonder whether to see this movie and do not . go and see it now and you would not regret it . it be well worth the 6 hour you will spend watching . beautiful footage shot in different part of europe superbly compements the time period over which the story take place ( 40 year ) . it great to see italian movie finally make a come back in this big way .
