Death comes to us all

Youth (2015)

Written & directed by Paolo Sorrentino this film stars Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, Rachel Weisz and Paul Dano. Two old men, one a composer/conductor and the other a film director, take a holiday at an exclusive Swiss hotel.

Exploring the familiar territory of old age and mortality this is a well constructed narrative that does plenty to entertain. I really enjoyed the odd cast of characters staying at the hotel as well as the humour in the script and the Swiss Alps as a back drop. Fitting in well with the style of Sorrentino's previous film The Great Beauty (2013) I would really recommend this film.


4/5
