Described by Elliot Stein in The Village Voice as "the classiest 'male weepie' ever filmed", [2] Family Diary is an adaptation of the 1947 semi-autobiographical novel by Vasco Pratolini, Cronaca familiare, or in english Two Brothers.
At the 1962 Venice Film Festival Family Diary was awarded a Golden Lion for Best Picture Photographed by Giuseppe Rotunno, it has been acclaimed as one of Zurlini's greatest achievements.
Marcello Mastroianni plays Enrico, a struggling journalist in 1945 Rome. He receives a phone call informing him that his younger brother Lorenzo ( Jacques Perrin) has died. Enrico recalls their long and difficult relationship. He was raised by their poor but warm-hearted grandmother (Sylvie), while Lorenzo was raised as a gentleman by a wealthy local aristocrat. Reunited in the Florence of the 1930s, Enrico becomes his spoiled brother's keeper, forever haunted by a sense of guilt and responsibility towards a man he both hates and loves.
