Me And You: Review and trailer
AFTER a decade of ill health Bernardo Bertolucci makes a welcome return to the director's chair with Me And You, a modest but absorbing tale of a damaged generation negotiating the minefield of the modern world.
Lorenzo (Jacopo Olmo Antinori) convinces his mother he is attending a school trip.
Instead he settles down in the basement for a week of solitude. That's the plan until half-sister Olivia (Tea Falco) arrives hoping to kick her heroin habit.
They journey towards common ground and the film achieves a poignant sense of hope.
VERDICT: 3/5
