Description
 
This is a region-free DVD+R without case or artwork.

In Italian with English subtitles. Also known as Violent Summer.

Directed by Valerio Zurlini. Jean-Louis Trintignant's star was just rising when he took on the role of Carlo in this engrossing wartime coming-of-age story. Carlo is a young man living in his own world and blithely inattentive to the real war that is happening not very far away. This is particularly striking because he is the son of a high-level fascist. The year is 1943 and he has gone to a seaside resort on vacation where he meets the beautiful, older widow Roberta (Eleonora Rossi Drago). Carlo is smitten and in spite of various obstacles, he and Roberta enter into a romantic liaison. Then one day Allied forces land on the coast and Carlo is faced with the realities of war and a reassessment of his life.

3 of 5 Notable Actress Performances November 17, 2017
Reviewer: Chris Kuykendall from Austin, TX United States  
This featured a strong actress performance by Eleanor Rossi Drago in a lead role and good actress performances by Jacqueline Sassard and Lilla Brignone in supportive roles. It's an interesting war-time movie.

5 of 5 Estate Violenta March 24, 2015
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Armadale, Victoria Australia  
Excellent quality DVD. Thanks, MovieDetective. The characters are treated intelligently and sympathetically by Zurlini, which makes this film about how a young man and a widow fare in Rimini during WW II always engaging.
