- Synopsis:
Alone, in the dead of night, a young boy writes in a little notebook. His words speak of the squalid life of the tenements and courtyards of East Montreal, and of a family plagued by madness. Leolo (Maxime Collin / Francis St-Onge) lives his daily life among strangers: a hypochondriac father, a brother whose obsessive bodybuilding betrays his fear of others, two sisters who spend more and more time on the psychiatric ward, and a grandfather who is held responsible for the genetic failure of the entire family. Only Leolo's sweet-tempered mother rises above the chaos. Leolo's own obsessions centre on Bianca (Giuditta Del Vecchio), the beautiful but remote Italian neighbour; she is his first love. As he is dragged further and further down into the family's insanity, Leolo escapes into his imagination, retreating into a dream world symbolised by the ancient theatre at Taormina, where Bianca awaits him... - Actors:

Avoid this DVD version - Léolo review by Gavin
Very good movie but avoid this particular DVD, as it feels like a 480p vhs transfer: blurry, muted colours, and clunky subtitles. @CinemaParadiso, please replace this disk with the remastered 720p version instead.
