Film Details

The first film in nine years (and first Italian-language film in 32 years!) from the great Italian director of The Conformist, Last Tango in Paris, and The Last Emperor tells of a lonely, pimply, geeky 14-year-old boy who wants to get some time away from his parents and peers. So during a week that he is supposed to be on a skiing trip with his school, he hides out in his family's basement. But soon he is joined by his 25-year-old half-sister, a junkie who wants to lick her heroin habit. “Critics’ Pick…Beautifully made…A meditation on the transformative possibilities of a relationship.” –The NY Times.
