The Family (1987)
8/10
Circle of Life

First of all, I have been thinking about the question of what the concept of family means for a few weeks. I guess family is like a limb of a person. You share the saddest and happiest moments with them, the most sensitive point of a person could be his family. La Famiglia is a portrait of a family in Fascist Italy. I just watched life and I didn't want it to end, for me La Famiglia is such a movie. We always want a simple and peaceful life but this is not possible. Unfortunately it is inevitable to experience uneasiness in life after or before some happy moments. Of course, people realize their mistakes when they are unhappy. That's why it is an important detail to accept everything as it is and start the change with yourself first. I really like the atmosphere Ettore Scola creates in his films you both laugh and question.

"From Violetta to Alfredo: Life is just pleasure."

"From Alfredo to Violetta: Let us take our pleasure from wine, song and joy."

"May the dawn rise over us as if we are in heaven."
