Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe doesn’t only show the characters, it distills lyrical truths about family and friendships with gorgeously constructed and dreamy cinematography by Akis Konstantakopoulos, and a beautiful soundtrack to match. The actors truly understand their characters. They capture the quirks, the deadpan jokes, and the mannerisms of teenage boys figuring themselves out. They are awkward, they are silly, they are young. They don’t know who they are and they piece it together on screen, in small stumbles and in leaps. The film’s message is that true love always prevails, but takes time. Well worth watching.[In English]
