One of the many reasons I like this movie is the Cello music, it doesn't distract from the marvelous soft Italian light and decent scenery. The movie takes place most time in a pretty district of Rome and on the seaside near Rome. The main character, played by Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, is Angela, a spoiled rich 30-year old still studying single woman who doesn't know what to do with herself most of the time. Its a bored life full of neuroses and harmless compulsions, and there is one hope - love. A Psychoanalist tells her shes not ready to love, but love finds its ways and is there from the beginning...
The film is kind of intimate and poetic, has its own soft and happy vibe, weird logic and hilarious moments of subtle comedy. The actors always strike the right tone on the claviature of human emotions, also the silent and soft tones. Its a real striking performance by Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi who plays emotional Angela so intimately as if she knew her all her life.
The dialog is really great and there are some really true lines. For example: The reason she says why she is leaving the psychiatric ward, she had put herself in voluntarily, is because she is ill and wants to get healthy. For me its an example of the hilarious but somewhat true logic in this film. Could one get sane in a psychiatry?
I watched it several times and no matter what mood I was in it gave me a smile and a good time.
