Product Description
From Amazon.com
Italy's magical fantasy of midlife crisis and rebirth in Venice, the city of lovers, swept the Italian film awards and charmed all of Europe. Director Silvio Soldini turns the tourist mecca of piazzas, canals, and stone bridges into a quaint little village out of time and fills the film with the charm of the city and the gentle quirks of his delightful cast. Licia Maglietta is winning as Rosalba, the frustrated and ignored middle-aged mom who impulsively takes a vacation from her family. She hitchhikes to Venice and falls for lonely, suicidal Icelandic waiter-poet Bruno Ganz (whose soulful, sad eyes recall his fallen angel from Wings of Desire), blossoming as she rediscovers her smile and joy for life. Sweetly sexy and beautifully shot, this story of second chances may not be original or surprising (think Shirley Valentine), but it's no less lovely or enchanting for it. --Sean Axmaker

3.0 out of 5 stars
a social critique on Itailan machismo- but not too many laug,
By
This review is from: Bread and Tulips (Widescreen) (DVD)
At first the movie got off to a slow start, but then once new characters became invovled in the plot, things started to change for the protagonist.The movie is a cross between Desparately Seeking Susan with Madonna and Just Married... At parts you will be waiting for the ending to come, which you know what it is. It's nto as funny for the American audience, I did not find more than maybe one moment as funny. The movie has some odd parts and it is incredible to think how Fernando would let her stay with him so long... It's worth seeing, but maybe just once.

This review is from: Pane E Tulipani (DVD)
Was unable to see it on my DVD player. I have to convert the DVD from European to American.When I purchased the item I expected the supplier to do the conversion for me. They knew they were shipping it to Canada or at least inform the buyer.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Unusual feel good movie,
This review is from: Bread and Tulips (Widescreen) (DVD)
This film is part fantasy, part romantic comedy, part mid-life crisis, and part journey of self discovery, but completely enjoyable. The main character is truly lovable. I have lent this movie to friends that have differing tastes than mine, yet they all enjoyed it.
