The Garden of the Finzi Contini

Has anyone seen this?
It popped up as "recommended" on Prime so I gave it a shot. It is an Italian film from 1970.
I loved it. Thoughtful storyline, beautiful young actors and a big Italian estate, complete with a summer hut, gardens and a tennis court.
Not a light hearted movie as some of the scenery would suggest.
If you don't mind subtitles and learning a bit about the plight of people in IL Duce's Italy, you might like this as much as I did.

I watched it a long time ago when I lived in Italy.

I  also saw it many years ago in school but never forgot the brutality.
