Re: central insight

Interesting how much you found in one good film... not really surprising, given the "thoughful" nature of the movie. I think you touched on it - the film doesn't break any new grounds, you constantly feel you have already seen this, and this is perhaps its major fault. For instance, the truly great films can be talking about extremely simle subject but keep you riveted - after all, what's happening there in Bergman's Persona?

Overal I would rate Malena as a more interesting and deep film than Amelie, but of course the subject is boring to most American audience, and it is too serious to become a 'darling'. So it went largely unnoticed - shame, given its relatively high (even by the European standards) level.
