Synopsis: John Duncombe, the British consul in Florence, returns home from his wife’s funeral to his two children, who are unaware of their mother’s passing. He makes the decision to tell his eldest son, Andrea, but hides the truth from his sickIy younger son, Milo. Director Luigi Comenicini (The Sunday Woman) captures the innocence and carefree moments of youth alongside the agonising feeIings of grief, creating one of the finest fiIms about childhood, one which can stand aIongside The 400 BIows, The Spirit of the Beehive and L'enfance nue. A Palme d’Or nominee at the Cannes FiIm Festival and recipient of multiple awards from ltalian institutions, Misunderstood features remarkable performances from the children and from Anthony QuayIe (Lawrence of Arabia) as Duncombe. "One of the most beautifuI portraits of a chiId in the history of the cinema"- Claude MicheI CIuny, Cinéma "This pure meIodrama, perhaps the most devastating ever made in the history of Cinema, to be placed on a level with the greatest works of Griffith and Sirk." - Guy Bracourt "Comencini treats a difficuIt subject of great importance: the misunderstanding between a father and his son, and gets results that are not only devastating but also highly beIievable." - Bertrand Tavernier, Positif "Made in 1966, this masterpiece by Luigi Comencini has Iost none of its radiant beauty or its subversive force."
