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)
