All The Love There Is

Warning: Spoilers
Saw this film in the university, sadly without any subtitles, it is an autobiographic story of a young boy's growing up among the boys who are older than him, the adolescence everyone has experienced involving sex (of course), friendship (really?), band (in an not so impressive ways), relationships, romance and parents.

That's all, the privilege of the film is that it is director Sergio Rubini's autobiography, otherwise with so many great preceding Italian films about adolescent teenagers, it makes one highly doubt the necessity of its existence.

However, it's not a bad film, with its hippy-ever-after 70s outfits and several funny gags, it is not difficult to survive the 95 mins. But in the other hand, a question is keeping haunting in my mind, is this film worth my precious time?

I know maybe I take films a little bit seriously even this one doesn't charge any money, I just try to think in a more professional way to distinguish what are the intentions behind each director, it there anything I can learn or feel empathy from each film, (optimistically) maybe it could surprise me (in a good way).

I like the positive title: Totto L'amore Che C'e. And the most memorable moment is Gerard Depardieu's small cameo (with the white horse), and meanwhile the road accident near the end of film is really a useless cliché, why every story like this needs a tragic accident to impress the audiences and for fear that without which one could never call it a genuine growth!

I give a 6/10 because even I criticize a lot, but deep inside my heart, I truly find some empathy from it, which gives the exact amount of satisfaction which I need from a film.

A useful insight into 70s Italia
dan205812 September 2002
As a student of Italian I found this film useful in showing Italy in the 70s.

Thanks to Hollywood I am well aware of 70s life in America so seeing this film made a welcome change and reminds us that history doesn't only happen in the States.

The film depicts the lives of a group of Italian youths who are going through a cultural revolution, which means they are looking to have as much fun (and sex) as possible.

The way in which the older people in the film (notably a cameo from Gerard Depardieu) appear to be oppressive towards the teens is somewhat similar to British and American films that were made in the 60s, possibly indicating that this cultural evolution actually happened later in Italy.

From a filmmakers point of view it is very well put together with some lighting effects which seem only to be achieved by European filmmakers. The young actors also put in good performances and it should be noted how the cast went to considerable lengths to look like they were children of the 70s, especially the guy sporting the Brian May hairdo.

In conclusion this film is great for those who want to see something a little different from the American stuff that we are fed on mass, though thats not to say that all American films are rubbish, just the major part.
