This is in aid of being prepared when asked what I'd like for Christmas, so please don't just put down your favourite. Try to factor in my tastes, as far as you're aware of them! All advice gratefully received.

Under no circumstances must you see Wallander. Neither must I. Or anyone. I recommend: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346336/ instead. It has, admittedly, one of the worst titles ever chosen even for a TV-series but this was pre-Silvio era and I´d review it any time: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/best_of_youth/ Saw it per chance on arte and couldn´t stop watching.

Thanks for the tip - a new one on me! (I'm rather relieved about Wallander - it sounded a bit dull.)

It´s one of those big surprises in the positive sense, quite wonderful, with at the time unknown young actors, won a Golden Palmtree in Cannes, I think. Haven´t seen anything like it, incredible to imagine this was done as a TV-series at all and in Italy at the time.

Wallander would be the choice if you really wanted to be bored stiff and didn´t know, how to go about it, yet!

Best of Youth is really good. A friend from that generation says it's a bit tamer than his own experience. That shocked me.

La meglio gioventù is excellent. No romp.
