Matteo = a young Christopher Walken


Someone on these boards observed that Luigi Lo Cascio playing Nicola resembles a combination between Roman Polanski and Stephen Colbert. Well, doesn't anyone see quite a bit of a young Christopher Walken in Alessio Boni (Matteo)'s features? He's perhaps a more traditionally handsome version of Walken, not as unsettling but just as attractive. And what a body! Lovely torso and shoulders... oh yes, the boy has a lucky gene pool!
But then there's also something delightful about Luigi Lo Cascio... he's also quite attractive and so, so charming, though not as obviously handsome as Boni! This film is quite a sight for sore eyes, both for men and women!! (the actresses are beautiful too)

Alessio Boni (Matteo)reminds me of Steve McQueen. He has a smoldering charisma about him. Strong silent action hero. Luigi Lo Casci(Nicola)reminds me of someone- I was thinking Josh Hamilton but I never figured it out. Roman definitely did not come to mind. Great actors. Both lovely characters, too.

Reminds me of Steve McQueen as well, especially at the wedding for some reason.

I think Alessio Boni and James Caviezel look very much alike.
