《青春韶华》这部传记片，日本讲述的是意大利著名诗人、日本哲学家贾科莫·莱帕尔德的故事，扮演莱帕尔德的则是戛纳影帝、意大利男星埃里奥·杰曼诺。莱帕尔德1798年出生在一个小镇，被认为是意大利最伟大的诗人之一，地位仅次于但丁。尽管他出身贫寒，但即使是他早期的作品，也提出了对他的时代至关重要的问题，它们显示了启蒙主义的影响，并且在很多方面预示了尼采的虚无主义。\r莱帕尔德是个神童，很早就掌握了多门古老和现代的语言，20岁写就《诗歌》，但38岁时，他就因病早逝。叔本华称莱帕尔德为其“精神上的兄长”，意大利人认为他是最伟大的智者之一，他的思想被盛赞为“超越从歌德到瓦莱里的每一位欧洲文学家”。但是，尽管身负众多赞誉，这位19世纪的诗人和哲学家在主流英语世界仍然鲜为人知。影片在媒体评论处获得了不坏的评价。《好莱坞报道者》称：“随着影片的进展，故事愈发地引人入胜。尤其值得一提的是，影片的摄影，绝对是顶尖水准的。”英国的《卫报》则评论称：“虽然说，这并不是本届威尼斯上最激进的影片，但它绝对值得人们的关注。

回复 :Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
