Retired composer and living legend Fred Ballinger (Michael Caine) is whiling away his days at an upscale Swiss resort, reveling in his apathy as he gets spa treatments and discusses the rigors of aging with his lifelong friend, once-great filmmaker Mick Boyle (Harvey Keitel), another octogenarian, who is working on a movie he deems to be his masterpiece. Director-writer Paolo Sorrentino\u2019s (The Great Beauty<\/em>) garish, ephemeral parable twists and turns like a dream and has the narrative flow to match. Some viewers will disdain the opaque dialogue and pretzel-like plot behind a tired, defeated man\u2019s attempt to find happiness and meaning in the now. However, Sorrentino\u2019s ability to portray the foolishness in venerating the past\u2014while trying to lay siege to the present\u2014makes the occasionally indulgent, carnival-like flourishes worth enduring. We have to keep living, whether we like it or not. Youth<\/em> is a movie you feel as much as you watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
