Libero - Anche Libero Va Bene

LIBERO, un très beau film italien magnifié par la performance du jeune acteur italien, confondant de naturel et qui est vraiment un acteur exceptionnel. À voir absolument pour les amateurs de "bon" cinéma !

Sadly the Dvds have a known manifacturing bug that only plays a short way into the film before freezrs

This is the BEST Italian drama I've seen for a long time. It's a properly grown up, heartbreaking drama directed and performed by one of the most talented and handsome Italian actors, Kim Rossi Stuart. I've always been a fan of his late film, The Key to the House (with Charlotte Rampling). Stuart is drawn to father-son relationship-human drama and our emotional journey. In this story, the family drama is observed through the eyes of 11 year old son Tommi and it's about his coming-of-age and his relationship with his father (Kim Rossi Stuart) who portrays a typical working class, harsh, angry, tough father on the surface but in deep down, he is loving, affectionate, trying to do his best to bring up his two children after their mother left them. This film is about the difficulties of life challenges, fatherhood and the love and bond between him and his children.With this film, Kim Rossi Stuart restores the classic reputation of the Italian neo-realist tradition. This film won him the Directors' Fortnight Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. I highly recommend this to anyone who love intelligent drama.

The film was excellent until Chapter 5, when it just stopped playing. I bought a second copy which did exactly the same thing so couldn't watch the 2nd half which is really disappointing because the plot and acting were both good. I have had to complain to Amazon FIVE times to get them to sort out a refund for both copies as they couldn't seem to understand that BOTH copies had an identical fault. If anyone knows of anywhere else to buy this film (without a costly trip to Italy), I'd love to know about it as so far I've only seen it on Amazon. I'm really disappointed with Amazon's handling of this too. I think they should ban this seller.......

This film had the potential to be excellent and perhaps it is, but I will never know because it stopped half way along and would not start again. No amount of coaxing would get it to go further and so it had to be sent back, and I will never know the ending! Shame.
