In his first feature film, Silvio Soldini immediately shows great sensitivity in tackling the dilemma posed to the protagonists of the new western millennium: the search for meaning in a society whose paradigms no longer have any. Despite the meritorious intent, the direction here is still acerbic. The film's hesitant pace makes it rather difficult to follow enthusiastically. Without infamy or praise, L'aria serena dell'ovest is a film to be seen only by those who want to frame the director's journey from its beginnings.
