I frankly don't understand why so many people are so ecstatic about this movie. No matter how well-acted, no matter how exquisite the Italian setting, no matter how beautifully shot, no matter how sensual the music, this is still just a story of a mature adult man seducing a teen aged boy. Substitute a teen aged girl for that boy and it's just plain creepy. If the borderline pedophilia doesn't bother you, then let me add that there is an America Pie-style scene with a peach standing in for the apple pie, but is taken to another level of cringe. At least the director of American Pie had the good grace to play it for laughs.
