It will take most Americans more than just a little effort to believe the Hollywood of this movie is the same place that eventually produced Rambo II. Go to Full Review

There's a curious detachment to it all that keeps our emotions at arm's length. Go to Full Review

02/07/2017 Brothers depart from Italy to the USA after the family's business is sold and eventually find success in the early days of Hollywood. Perhaps a bit too artsy for my, didn't buy into the brothers dying in the war in front of the church façade the family business built. See more 10/14/2016 Slow builder about Italian brothers who leave the homeland to find struggles and success in America during early Hollywood era. Story about family and the endurance of the arts. Manages to hold and build interest due to the characters involved. Vestron scoured the globe for the finest foreign films and this is part of that legacy. See more 12/15/2013 Good story and interesting characters..... a quirky homage to D.W. Griffith... See more 05/04/2009 Une jolie fable qu'on a du mal a croire. See more 03/12/2009 The war bit was somewhat tiresome, but the good part of it kept me reminding me of Wes Anderson. See more 08/02/2008 Wonderful intertextuality to the history of film, seen trough two italian migrants! See more Read all reviews
