Vy nádhery, co si taky jednou taky přečíst knihu, když už jste před čtyřmi lety přežili trochu opulentní film se stárnoucím spisovatelem a členem římské smetánky?! Takže pokud máte ruce, chytněte do nich Mládí, protože tohle velice podmanivá kniha, která se ohlíží za životy dvou umělců na pozadí luxusních lázní a jeho excentrických návštěvníků. Připravte se na trochu zahořklé dialogy, cynické úniky a poetiku lidí z umělecké branže. Přečíst s [...]

A strange reading experience. This is a series of short scenes that come together to for a picture. The novel reads like a screenplay and has a deeply theatrical feel to it. I have enjoyed reading it, although I'd be hard pressed to explain why exactly. an interesting one.

Videla som malebné alpské prostredie, videla som luxusné kúpeľové stredisko, videla som starnúcich mužov i mladých, ktorí majú celú budúcnosť pred sebou. Videla som dialógy Freda a Micka, ich komentáre ostatných hostí.Videla som nádhernú knihu. Viac naorvokki

Üks nendest haruldatest kordadest kui film on veel parem kui raamat. Aga see on väga hea raamat.

Elegir un libro a ciegas siempre es un riesgo, puedes encontrar algo que hace que te preguntes cómo fue que lo compraste, o puede hacerte sentir que la inversión valió la pena; justamente el caso de La Juventud. Si bien el libro no es la obra maestra del siglo, debo reconocer que me llevé una grata sorpresa. Sorrentino, de una manera fluida y envolvente, hace que nos preguntemos si en verdad vivimos, si en verdad estamos aprovechando el tiempo que tenemos y si aun siendo viejos conservamos l [...]

Старци, безуспешно опитващи се да остареят с насмешка, младежи, които се стараят да помъдреят преждевременно, някогашни звезди, към които прожекторите вече не насочват светлини, бъдещи звезди, обременени от ирония и амбиции и епизодични персонажи, появяващи се като че ли, з [...]

Харесвам филма, но тук нещата са още по-простички. Някои глави са по половин страница.

– Помню, как я научился кататься на велосипеде. В этом нет ничего необычного, но я был так счастлив! Именно счастлив! Сегодня утром, словно по волшебству, я впервые вспомнил, что произошло потом.– Потом ты свалился.– А ты откуда знаешь?– Потому что падали все, Мик. Ты чувству� [...]

First thing's first. One of the great films of 2015 is Paolo's Sorrentino's film "Youth". After seeing it, I was intrigued by his book, which shared the same name. Flipping through it, it appeared to be a novel that inspired the film. For a couple bucks, I picked it up.The thing about this book. It reads exactly like the film. Each chapter is a scene. The dialogue in the book mirrors the dialogue in the film. It's basically a novelized version of a screenplay. Not that it's a bad thing, however [...]

qualche sorpresa rispetto al film

Може би вече сте гледали филмовия шедьовър на Сорентино „Младост“? Или все още не сте?Гледайте го! Истинско качествено удоволствие е!А знаете ли, че Сорентино е написал кинематографичен роман по филма?И не си мислете, че щом сте го гледали, не си струва да прочете книгата, б� [...]

Гледах "Младост" веднага след като излезе по кината. Помня, че ме спечели много повече от "Великата красота" и заобичах Сорентино, заради тази негова поезия на екрана. С думите е по-лаконичен, но пък напълно точен. Четейки режисьорският роман си припомням сцените, усещанията, [...]

With Youth, I did that weird thing where I saw the movie FIRST and then read the book. I'm not sure I would have read the book on its own. It's a quick, enjoyable read. Beautiful to imagine. (The movie was beautiful, too.) Often the dialogue is hard to digest. Maybe a bit too theatrical? Kind of felt Woody Allen-ish? But I loved the powerfully-developed themes about youth and freedom. I've been thinking about specific things non-stop since I finished. Tiny character moments, they stuck with me. [...]

This is a great book. It is beautifully written, so observant, so hilarious. Most of the characters are dumb, which I enjoy. The whole Swiss mountain spa setting is itself a source of great comedy and cultural reflection. He has some great lines, like when he describes the sound of wealthy people eating. I watched the film adaptation, which, having been made by the author himself, is perfectly true to the book, and also very well cast. Jane Fonda, Rachel Weisz, Michael Cain, are all fantastic. D [...]

Een kleine 3. Lezenswaardig vooral door de volgehouden stijloefening die het boek is: het leest als een script van een film, en dat is het ook (Youth verscheen vorig jaar, met Michael Caine en Harvey Keitel), en een heel goeie soundtrack. En ik kan me voorstellen dat het een mooie sfeervolle film is geworden, maar het boek geeft enkel zin om hem te bekijken, niet om te herlezen of lang bij stil te staan.

Sorrentino definitely writes for the screen, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it's as if he invites you to take his usual seat as director with YOUTH. It is essentially about cessation - the end of a holiday, relationship, career, and ultimately life. Sporadic, morbid, and moving. There isn't much structure and at times it seems repetitive, but it is short and entertaining nonetheless.

Nooit kijk ik een film waarvan ik het boek las.Heel af en toe lees ik een boek als een film me raakte (wat eerlijk gezegd niet zo vaak gebeurt) verfilmingen van boeken: het voelt erg vaak fout aan.In dit specifieke geval ging ik op zoek naar de film im het boek te begrijpen.Het is eerder een transcriptie van het scenario. Ongetwijfeld interessant voor wie dramaturgie studeert of filmschool volgt.Ik vond het ongekend saai.

azcheta/velikata-krasota-nМладост е липсата на дистанция между минало и настояще. Емоционалното очарование на сегашния момент, съчетано с едновременната крехкост и вечност на мига. Младост е и най-отминалият период от живота, намиращ се в своя зенит. Красотата на младостта, независимо [...]

I read this in its English translation, its the source novella for the film 'Youth' which Sorrentino's also directed and which starred Michael Caine & Harvey Keitel. I saw the film first and the book was given away free at the screening. After reading it, it's clear that the film is incredibly faithful to the book yet I would argue that the film is the better 'work of art' it had an air of faintly surreal visual beauty which the book can't convey.

It's not that it isn't a charming and thoughtful story - but it's just the film script. There is nothing extra, no inner journey into the characters. It's very 'external'. But it has made me eager to see the film.If you want to read a film director's novel which is far more than a film script, try 'Fever at Dawn' by Peter Gardos.

Adoro Sorrentino, ma La Giovinezza e' un romanzo soltanto "carino"a metà tra letteratura e sceneggiatura. Un ibrido discreto, al di sotto delle aspettative. Sembra scritto in modo frettoloso e di sicuro non è stato riletto bene prima della stampa. Ho trovato un typo a pagina 113 (parato anziché prato) e già questo e' un elemento che mi indispone nella lettura.

Je kan het impressionistisch noemen, maar ik vind het te verbrokkeld, als gehakt stro.Zo kurkdroog, karig en kaal als een filmdraaiboek. Logisch, als je weet dat de auteur de regisseur is van deze film. Voor een roman mag het iéts meer zijn.

E' una bella sceneggiatura in forma di romanzo. In quanto romanzo, è assente il protagonista: la scrittura, di cui Sorrentino è molto capace (Tony Pagoda docet). Avrei preferito una bella sceneggiatura in forma di sceneggiatura.

Un romanzo che sembra più che altro una sceneggiatura, con quelle immagini solo abbozzate perché tanto poi a contorno ci sono gli attori, la musica, la fotografia. Solo che evidentemente io non riesco a crearmi questi "contorni" da sola

Dit is het soort boek dat je alleen maar moet lezen nàdat je de film gezien hebt. Als een soort nagenieten om al die mooie beelden nog eens voor je oog te zien passeren. Want de film is prachtig. Het boek is wat men een 'novelisation' noemt, een roman geschreven op basis van het scenario.

Un roman sympathique, qui a de l'intérêt surtout pour les fans du film qui retrouveront directement l'ambiance fabuleuse de celui-ci. L'auteur a un style très minimaliste, cinématographique (et ce n'est pas un hasard) qui ne plaira pas à tout le monde. Mais quelle histoire !

Na verdade não se lê mal, mas a mim pareceu-me uma peça de teatro, faltou-me ali qualquer coisa para me manter presa, para me apaixonar. Parece que o filme é muito bom, portanto talvez seja finalmente o caso em que o filme supera o livro. Darei com certeza uma oportunidade!

"- Твоят филм завещание, Мик, струва много повече от поредния телевизионен сериал.- Моят филм завещание? Да не надценяваме нещата. Повечето хора умират не само без завещание, ами и без някой да забележи."
