In Italian with English subtitles.

An early film from director Damiano Damiani, this coming-of-age story concerns a neglected teenager (Vanni De Maigret) living on an island in the Bay of Naples. Arturo's widowed father (Reginald Kernan) shows up one day with an attractive new wife (Kay Meersman), and leaves them together when he goes off on one of his frequent trips. Alone with his beautiful stepmother and his nascent desires, Arturo falls deeply in love.

5 of 5 L'isola di Arturo March 13, 2015
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Armadale, Victoria Australia  
An emotionally rich film, always engaging thanks to the pace, the rhythm of the camera techniques and editing. Makes you care for the characters, as the best Italian films - always in sympathy with humankind - do. Highly recommended. Of MovieDetective's other films, it's perhaps closest to Mauro Bolognini's 'Agostino'. Thanks MovieDetective.
