Synopsis:

The year is 1973. Swingin' Naples is the place. Frizzy-haired, bespectacled Peppino (Luigi Catani) is nine years old and watching the world change through the misadventures of his dysfunctional family. Valeria Golino stars as his mother, Rosaria, who has sunk into depression after discovering she's being cheated on. Cousin Gennaro (Vincenzo Nemolato) is a very mortal man with a superhero complex, who encourages Peppino to accept his own quirks and celebrate his individuality. Adapted for the screen from his own novel, writer/director Ivan Cotroneo (I Am Love, Loose Cannons) nostalgically depicts the psychedelic era in an ancient city, showing its citizens on the edge of a new era. Luca Bigazzi's charming cinematography offers views of the claustrophobic old quarters, and the modern middle class homes that Peppino's family inhabits. While his mother is attending psychotherapy sessions, Peppino's super-mod aunt and uncle take him to love-ins and demonstrations. But as everyone in the family will come to find out, 'peace and love' aren't just slogans; they take work to achieve. A rollicking soundtrack features Italian covers of period classics like 'The Age of Aquarius' and 'These Boots Are Made for Walking."

A large, colorful Neapolitan family in the early 1970s experience the decade's radical social changes in microcosm in Ivan Cotroneo's uneven helming debut, "Kryptonite!" Condensed from the noted scripter's own novel, the pic needs further distillation to eliminate superfluous characters and bring to the fore the meat of the story, which gets lost amid nostalgic period detail. Cotroneo (writer on "I Am Love," "Loose Cannons") demonstrates a sure hand in the directing chair but oddly proves weaker on structure. Local success will depend on the competition, while offshore exposure will likely be limited to scattered Euro play and Italo showcases.
