"Ettore Scola (born 1931) is the youngest of the major directors in the show. In C'eravamo Tanto Amati/We All Loved Each Other So Much (1974) he takes stock of his generation. This sad, noble, and lovely film covers 30 years in the lives of three friends, ex-partisans who had fought against the Germans, and the loss of their ideals, the frittering away of love and friendship during the years of prosperity. It is also, subtextually (one of the three is a film critic), a dirge for the death of neorealism. The film is dedicated to De Sica, who appears in it and who died while it was in postproduction. We All Loved Each Other So Much is a sort of Italian The Big Chill--with a difference. Scola's film summons up real depths of feeling; emotionally, it's an epic." Elliott Stein, Village Voice, 6/17/86
