Fra gli amici

This short film was recently posted on IMDb for viewing in the United States. If you are not in this country, finding the film to watch may be difficult, as the rights ot show these free films abroad haven't been negotiated. I sure hope this is all worked out soon.

This film has an Italian title and apparently was apparently inspired by the so-called "spaghetti Westerns", though I just didn't see the parallel at all--and I've seen quite a few of these films. The voices were redubbed to add to the effect, but it didn't particular remind me of the films of Sergio Leone or the other Italian directors. Much of this probably was because the characters were NOT Western characters but were modern. Plus, the music, while good, was not really like that of Ennio Morricone. The only part that really reminded me of these earlier films were the opening credits--which were excellent. Instead, it's a reasonably well made little film that shows off the talents of the director and actors.
