Synopsis
Compagni di scuola (1988) is an Italian comedy by Carlo Verdone you can watch online on iFILM. Fifteen years after graduation, a class of former schoolmates gathers at a villa outside Rome to see what became of them all.
The evening opens with hugs and old nicknames and curdles into score-settling. One got rich, one drinks too much, one never grew past eighteen. Old crushes resurface, schoolyard grudges flare, and the envy only hardens with the years. Verdone directs and takes a role himself, alongside Christian De Sica, Nancy Brilli and Eleonora Giorgi.
It's a bitter comedy about a generation of Italians whose youth landed in the early 1970s and whose adulthood didn't keep its promises. Just funny enough to keep the ache bearable. Stream Compagni di scuola online on iFILM.
