MY BROTHER IS AN ONLY CHILD

This Italian smash, featured at last year's Cannes and Toronto film festivals, reunites director Daniele Luchetti with "Best of Youth" collaborators Sandro Petraglia and Stefano Rulli for an homage to the '60s and '70s films of Bernardo Bertolucci and Marco Bellochio about two small-town brothers out to change the world: a communist firebrand (Riccardo Scarmaccio) and a rebellious reactionary (Elio Germano) who realizes he loves his brother's girlfriend. In Italian with English subtitles. At Suncoast. (108 minutes.) R; profanity, sexual content.

THEN SHE FOUND ME

Helen Hunt makes her directorial debut and stars in this bittersweet tale, which focuses on a tightly wound teacher (Hunt) who meets her birth mother (played by Caesars Palace headliner Bette Midler) just as her adoptive mom dies -- and her husband (Matthew Broderick) leaves her. Colin Firth (as a divorced dad seeking her favor) rounds out the starring cast. Hunt, Victor Levin and Alice Arlen adapt Elinor Lipman's novel. At Village Square. (100 minutes.) R; profanity, sexual content.
