La guerra dei bottoni

different by novel. first - for intentions. because it is a war film. with the tension and shadows who define this genre. but it has the sin to not be the most convincing war film. but this remains only a detail. because the surprise is the status of secondary character of the original game. against good work of children actors. against the possibilities of a fascinating answer to The boys from Pal street. and this is the source of disappointment - a confuse message, reflecting, as premises, all. the universe of adults, the world of children, Laetitia Casta and Guillame Cannet as the impossible couple, the not real convincing facts, gestures and dialogues, the desire of return to the book as consolation for a too ambitious adaptation of it.
