Product Description
Gianni is reunited with Paolo, the 15-year-old son he has never seen; a son he abandoned at birth. The reunion is not Gianni's idea - it is that of Paolo's doctor who hopes the connection will benefit the troubled boy. Gianni experiences a Pandora's box in Paolo, full of shocks and wonders, but the keys to one's house are often the keys to one's heart.

Customer Reviews
POWERFUL!!!
If we are supposed to be reviewing the DVD itself, I give it 4 stars
because the subtitles were hard to read. The movie itself is deserving
of FIVE stars. This was an astoundingly beautiful story. So sad, yet
so beautiful. Its beauty lies in the development of a father's love
for a son he abandoned at birth. Kim Rossi Stuart pours his heart
into this role. Young Andrea Rossi is wonderful as Paolo, the teenager
who meets his father for the first time.
So beautiful it hurts
I did not know what to expect from this movie. Although the plot was
outlined on the box, no words could describe what a profound experience
this film holds for those open to its message. The beauty of this
story is such that as the last scene unfolds your heart aches from
what you have experienced.
The execution from all parties creating this work of art is flawless.
The young man who plays Paolo gives one of the bravest performances
I've ever seen. Kim Rossi Stuart's physical approach to getting to
know his son is incredibly beautiful and compassionate. The honesty
of his performance is astounding.
I feel a deeper since of compassion for others as a result of seeing
this movie. It touched me as no other film ever has. I cannot express
strongly enough how moving The Keys to the House is. It makes me so
happy to see there are people left in this world that have the capacity
of compassion for others to make a film that can forever change the
heart of those who see it.
A must movie all the human kind need to
watch
I was utterly astonished and enlightened to know the fact someone
actually produced such a difficult movie in every sense.
It is very important for most of us ,who have been contaminated by
typical Hollywood money and fame crazed film making scheme,to watch
this film.
This movie is so sincerely and realistically produced that I could
not even tell during the first 15 minutes that if one particular young
actor was actually acting and when I realized that he was acting,that
was another refreshing surprise.
I thought Sean Penn did a wonderful job in "I am Sam ",but this movie
is 100 times better.It deals with rather a tragic theme in an extremely
quiet and non-dramatic way ,yet the movie does not make us cry. Instead
it makes us strong and aware of the necessity of world compassion.
I am very appreciative for all the people who were involved in making
this movie.

Do You Like To Critique Movies?
Do you love movies? Do you find yourself constantly analyzing them? Do you have withdrawal if you don’t get to see a new movie at least a couple of times a week? Do you like to critique movies?
If the answer is yes, you aren’t alone, thousands of people love to critique movies. Wouldn’t it be perfect if you could get a job as a movie critic? After all if you love movies why not do a job you love?
Although most of us might personally critique movies and share those views with family and friends. Taking the leap to a professionalmovie critic is considerably different but of course doable.
First you need to fine tune your writing skills. Your reviews will need to be compelling and interesting and it’s not quite as easy as you might think to do. ! If you want to make money as a movie critic then these tips will get you on the right track.
Start by really watching the movie with a critical eye. No longer can you be a passive participant. You need to pay attention to every detail down to the tiniest details such as positioning and props. You need to watch for stellar moments and monumental flubs. All of these elements are important to the story and how the story line comes across to the viewers. It is also critical to writing good reviews.
Don’t forget your notepad and pen because you are should be taking good notes on the important film elements. You should also note the details like actors and actresses names, producer, director, and all the other important people. Remember write only the important information that you aren’t likely to retain mentally.
Don’t spoil the film for someone else by telling them too much. You need to summarize the plot and some highlights, give your opinion and the hush, it’s time to be quiet and let the viewers get the details from viewing the film.
There is a big difference between writing and writing something that people want to read. Your movie review needs to develop the movies theme, plot, and characters. Don’t just write a hum drum boring report. Tell the tale! Either encourage viewers to see the movie and why or discourage viewers to not waste their time and tell them why. Remember your writing needs to be compelling!
When reviewing the movie remember there is no such thing as all good or all bad. You must be able to find at least one positive and one negative about every movie so do your homework.
Make sure your work is original and open minded. You’ll have to watch moves from genres that you don’t like if you plan to make a living as a movie critic. That means you need to stop yourself from automatically reviewing these movies in a negative spot light.
You are going to have to learn to tell the difference between a movie that has been done well and done bad which is completely different from liking or disliking a movies theme or genre.
Critique the movies with originality. Heck everyone says two thumbs up come with your own original rating system and your own original style for presenting the reviews. After all you want to stand out from the rest of the critics’ right?
Most importantly remember to have fun. Work that is fun isn’t work and if you enjoy what you are doing then you can have fun working. If you can’t find someone who wants to employ you then why not set up your own website and start out on your own?
So the next time someone asks where you’re from and what you’re doing. You can tell them you are from the land of movies and you’re on avacation write some great reviews and get close up and personal with some of the stars. You did say you like to critique movies right?
