Me and You Movie Review

Nine years have Bernardo Bertolucci (72) no longer makes films. Io e Te leads to fourteen years of age and older siblings together in the basement where he was for a time hiding from the big bad world.

Bertolucci do more films which normally takes place in an enclosed space such as The Dreamers (2003) and Last Tango in Paris (1972). We know him but also of great epic dramas like Novecento (1976) and The Last Emperor (1987), which is mainly done to end with some symbolic excess. In his last film, based on the bestseller by Niccolo Ammaniti, became introverted teen full of beans Lorenzo and heroin addicts Olivia.

Lorenzo was locked from friends, pets are interested armadillos and ant colony and is being examined by a psychiatrist. In one of the first scene will find Freudian dialogue between Lorenzo and young divorced mother, much to the dismay of the latter. Lorenzo asked if she would have sex with him if they were the latest victims of the earth. And if they have a child, a boy, how they want to call it? Oedipus is never far from Bertolucci and Lorenzo continues throughout the film, although he is inclined to think radically, looking for affection and intimacy. With the hood just above the eyes and headphones, moved to the outside world. It is not surprising that decided not to go to the ski school. Instead, he sought refuge in exile week basement below the apartment where he and his mother lived. Then Olivia noisy place hides with great aplomb.

In (Bertolucci bound to a wheelchair), often from a low position, warm colors, the manager told me about the defense, repair relationships and affection between brothers and sisters, both played by Jacopo Olmo Antinori and Tea Falco. Lorenzo wants to completely distance themselves from the crisis in the outside world and Olivia was looking for somewhere to quit, a condition that has made him a bride. He calls it a psychopath, made him hysterical. Create melancholy relationships, filled with disgust, attraction and repulsion, but also love and affection.

Bertolucci does not delve into the history of the family (the same parent Olivia Lorenzo attack). He focuses mainly on the characters themselves ("I'm better with me" and "How would I do that after years of dealing with normal people?"), And his self-imposed isolation that push them together. Previously, also uses music. Through headphones Lorenzo hear examples of boys do not cry Cure and sometimes the Italian version of Space Oddity by David Bowie in the early seventies inzong. While Lorenzo maintain contact through liar phone with his mother and grandmother stole sleeping pills to Olivia, who received a girlfriend who gave the money for artistic photos. Both are on the hunt for food and drink in the apartment where the mother slept on the couch. A ray of light from the outside world is only when both hatches open. At the end of the message Bertolucci film is just a bit too firm.

conclusion
Bertolucci returns with a beautiful little drama in which he was two young people who are quite lost, together. In their isolation, they are showing the corners of the room is small, but cites also occur in some affection. Contains only moral signature key also slightly.
