''[[The Best of Youth]]'' is a six-hour-long Italian epic that crosses from the 1960s to the 2000s. It is about two brothers, Matteo and Nicola, who break a young girl out of a mental ward, only for her to be recaptured. This affects the rest of the boys' lives, as Matteo joins the army and Nicola becomes a hippie, then gets married and has a daughter. But his wife leaves him, and becomes an extremist.
 
Despite having a girlfriend of his own, Matteo becomes increasingly depressed and things get worse from there. The film ends on a redemptive note.

* [[Aloof Older Brother]]: Matteo.
* [[Brother Chuck]]: Nicola and Carlo have another friend who goes on the trip with them after college, and Nicola has two [[True Companions]] (outside his regular family) at the end of the movie, one of which is Carlo. There is never any mention of the other friend who accompanied Nicola and Carlo.
* [[Epic Film]]: Six hours of action that spans 40 years...
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: The first scene, where Matteo and Nicola's father asks them for help moving a television set. Matteo refuses, on the basis that he's swamped with homework, but Nicola immediately agrees, saying he needs a break. This moment makes both characters' personalities very clear.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Surprisingly well done; {{spoiler|Matteo's}} son looks just like him, but is clearly played by a different actor.
