Oh yes, I have just watched the movie … 
both parts at ONE GO … WOW!!! 
I highly recommend it …  ;) 

In fact, I even lament that it is not the original 400 min, but 366 min … why? Why? Why? 
:(  Can someone please tell me those scenes that have been edited? 

Although both parts are compelling, I like Best of Youth 2 slightly better … maybe because Best of Youth 1 sets the tone … and by the time you reach Best of Youth 2, you will be captivated … so be patient … 

It has everything … from the past (1966) to the present (2003) … from family to social … from sex to religion to politics … 

It is about love and conflict, humanity and cruelty … 
It is peppered with humor and tragedy, joy and tears … 
It is depicted with so much subtlety and expansiveness … 

In essence, it is an excellent piece of movie on characterization!
