An adolescent rube, transplanted with her parents to teeming Rome, faces an array of life-changing choices: communism, materialism, classical music, boys. The filmmaking style is more hectic than it needed to be to convey the confusion. Roberto Benigni and Michele Placido pop up in as-themselves cameos, and Sergio Castellitto is eloquent and expressive as the unfulfilled father. With Alice Teghil and Margherita Buy; directed by Paolo Virzì. (2004) — Duncan Shepherd
