...boys, the patient and kindly Nicola (Luigi Lo Cascio) becomes a psychiatrist. His possibly more gifted, but much more shadowed brother, Matteo (Alessio Boni), becomes a policeman notable for brutality, hasty judgement and grimly lonesome ways.

We're almost equally surprised when Nicola's wife, a gifted pianist, descends into the murderous radicalism that afflicted Italy during the "leaden years" of the 1970s. In tracing these two lives, director Marco Tulio Giordana effortlessly evokes many of the great...
