Preview: My Brothers Is an Only Child (2008)

• Poster: B

Review:

Simple and colorful, this poster is visually pleasing without being overbearing. It may not encourage patrons to visit the film, but it's at least not distracting or offensive.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

There's something fundamentally intersting about this trailer. It gives us enough plot details that we understand the film's purpose without making it seem like too much of an art film. The subject is definitely intriguing from a film lover's perspective, but it doesn't seem like the kind of film to draw in a general audience, especially with those subtitles.

Oscar Prospects:

If this is Italy's submission to this year's Academy Awards, I could definitely see it as a contender. Any film that pits brother against brother over political matters surrounding war is a perfect fit for the Academy.

Release Date:
