A truly beautiful cinematic experience

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2018)

I didn't watch the movie as a tribute to the LGBT movement or anything related. In fact, I knew very little about it, only that the trailer seemed nice. So I was sincerely amazed by the depth of the experience I had. I could sense the hot Italian summer, I could feel the teen spirit of the pre-digital age, when everything was new and fresh. I could have been one of the girls on those village outdoor discos, where everything is public and yet, everything is personal and intimate. There are no witnesses in the humid summer nights, but the Moon and the stars.
I was immersed in that summer, I could feel what the actors were feeling, their passions and questions and hopes. It could have been my first love or anybody else's!
I'm a little sad that this movie will go under the umbrella of some LGBT Lolilta, when it is so much more. The story is beautiful and real and if people could leave aside their prejudices, I'm sure everybody would relate to it. At least anybody pre-digital. Life was charming back then. When there were still forbidden fruits and first times.
