Founded on a 600-page script (by Sandro Petraglia and Stefano Rulli) and some 240 sets, The Best of Youth derives its formidable energies from the same yin-yang sibling dynamic as its direct antecedents: Visconti's Rocco and His Brothers and Gianni Amelio's The Way We Laughed. 

Beaming, [jocular] Nicola (Luigi Lo Cascio) and sensitive, 
[tightly] coiled Matteo (Alessio Boni, who [bears] a striking resemblance [to] the young Clint Eastwood), 

born a year apart, are university students when we meet them in 1966. Matteo volunteers at a clinic for the mentally ill, where he encounters Giorgia (Jasmine Trinca), an obvious victim of botched electroshock treatment; with his brother's help, Matteo tries and fails to return Giorgia to her rural relations. 

While The Best of Youth hardly delivers any Bellocchio-style smackdowns to the cult of the family—if anything, the film idealizes blood ties via the Caratis—it does recognize how unusually lucky Nicola and Matteo (and their two sisters) 

are in their easeful kinship 

during the excruciating moment when Giorgia's father smiles nervously and tells her it's time to go back to the hospital.
