The TVI Take
Marco Tullio Giordana's six-hour epic follows two brothers from 1966 to 2003, threading Italian history through one Roman family: the 1968 student protests, Franco Basaglia's psychiatric reform, Red Brigades terror, and the judicial wars of the 1990s. Luigi Lo Cascio and Alessio Boni anchor a narrative that earns its runtime by refusing to compress causality.
Originally produced as a four-part RAI miniseries and rereleased as two theatrical halves, the structural form is the argument: history happens to families across decades, not across acts. Cannes Un Certain Regard 2003.
