![]() ![]() ![]() I remember that when both my sister and my cousin were studying Italian they said to me that a Roberto Benigni film (I think it was IL MOSTRO) was shown at a class. Remember when some years ago filmmaker Quentin Tarantino said that "new Italian cinema is just depressing"? Well, I can't say I'm with Quentin since I don't know much about new Italian cinema (or Italian cinema in general, but hey, at least I recently got the Fernando Di Leo crime collection on Blu-Ray!), but I simply recalled what he said because this movie made me think something like this: "having tons of great Italian films, what was my teacher thinking when she decided to go with this one?" It was Italian class and the whole point of watching a film was just to hear people speaking in Italian, so obviously we could have some truly great and interesting stuff. ![]() The choice of my teacher was SCUSA MA TI CHIAMO AMORE, a completely unknown movie for me. ![]() I'm currently studying Italian and in yesterday's class we got to see a movie, an Italian one of course, for the very first time. Don't search for a deep meaning, let it flow, and it will work just well. So if you can take it in the beginning, this movie might be a nice and romantic movie for you to see. The very good addition to this very familiar love story (is there yet a single chance that not all good romantic ideas were already used on screen, uh?) are quotes of very different famous people on love which just pop up every time now and then on screen and thus not only add to the story, but kind of 'make' chapters of this movie. And actually it is all so much a cliché seen in so many other romantic movies, that it is not worth of telling more. The plot is quite simple - a much younger girl falls in love with older man (with 20 years of difference between them) and vice versa. But alas the story quite slowly and bit unrealistic started to roll on and work on me. And at the very first few minutes into the movie, I was already starting to think that it was going to be a total waste of time. ![]()
