It is true that "Amici miei" (My Friends) could actually give a clue to better understand the mood of this film. But another one that comes to my mind is "L'ultimo bacio" (The Last Kiss). Why? Because they are both, in a way, a harsh comment over a generation of ineffectual 30-year-old eternal university students, who had become a case-study of contemporary Italian sociology. A generation in which the film-director, Leonardo Pieraccioni, had the self-deprecation of putting himself as well. Well-played, funny and sad at the same time, "I laureati" was shot before "Il Ciclone", which had lost the melancholic touch and actually launched Pieraccioni in the big business as a comedy film director.

viscorob30 September 1999If you have seen the classic movie "amici miei", you might like "i laureati". Four young men with no interest in serious things, just wasting time and falling in love in the lovely Tuscany. This is the first movie of Leonardo Pieraccioni as director. Amazing.
