Why this pick
Another intimate Bertolucci chamber piece, pairing a sheltered young protagonist with intense sibling-like outsiders in a sensuous, enclosed world where emotional awakening and role-playing blur.
Why this pick
Its reserved Italian protagonist, carefully composed interiors, and gradual emergence from isolation echo Lorenzo’s private inner life, with a more mature and quietly melancholic tone.
Why this pick
A tender portrait of a socially awkward young man whose rich private imagination complicates connection, told with the same sympathy for withdrawal and tentative intimacy.
Why this pick
Sciamma brings a similarly close, unforced attention to a young person testing identity and belonging, with natural performances and quiet emotional stakes rather than melodrama.
Why this pick
Its gentle, observant approach to a teenager seeking independence and first closeness matches the warmth and emotional delicacy beneath Me and You’s solitude.

01 / THE STORY
Lorenzo has difficulties to communicate with people around him. He pays more attention to his inner world. When his class goes to the mountains for a week to ski, Lorenzo secretly settles in the basement of his apartment building. However, his loneliness is interrupted with an unexpected appearance of a strange girl, whose story is closely interwoven with that of Lorenzo and his relatives.
