First Love (2004 drama film)

First Love Primo Amore in Italian is a 2004 film directed by Matteo Garrone and Massimo Gaudioso, based on a novel by Marco Mariolini. The film deals with anorexia nervosa.

The score won Banda Osiris the 2004 Silver Berlin Bear for Best Film Music. The band won at other festivals, too. At the Flaiano Film Festival, Michela Cescon won for Best Actress and Marco Onorato won for Best Cinematography.The film has been described as a horror movie about desire, which seems fitting. Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times finds this film an elegantly told tale of obsession that, in failing to take on any larger meaning, rapidly becomes depressing to watch. Thomas and others are confused as to why she Sonia strives so mightily to please someone so obviously insane. ........
