English

Youth is a voluptuary’s feast, a full-body immersion in the sensory pleasures of the cinema. A film about old artists by a much younger man, directed by Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty/ La grande bellezza). The film takes on potentially heavy material in a disarmingly whimsical, intelligent and keen-witted manner.

Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel, both at the top of their games, wonderfully carry this spirited look at two aging artist friends with distinctly different ideas about how to wrap up their creative careers.

Paolo Sorrentino’s “Youth” won Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor at the European Film Awards 2015. Nominated for 2 Golden Globes the film premièred on Cannes Film Festival 2015 where it was nominated for the Palme d´Or.

“Michael Caine is excellent as a retired composer opposite Harvey Keitel and Jane Fonda in this strangely sweet-natured opera of pathos” – The Guardian

“Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel bring lifetimes of depth to Paolo Sorrentino’s most tender film yet.” – Variety
