This Italian language movie is set in the 1960s and 1970s and tells of the relationship between the brothers Accio, a fascist, and Manrico, a communist.
Two thirds of the film is taken up with the chaotic and corrupt politics of Italy but the underlying theme of sibling love emerges in time. The slyly sexy Accio and gorgeously blue-eyed Manrico kept my interest despite an irritating amount of shouting and arm waving.
There is humour amongst the violence and noise and an interesting soundtrack of 1960's hits and Beethoven classics as a bonus.
