Whilst fighting a bout with insomnia (I lost), I was flipping through the TV at 2:00 a.m. when I came across a truly outstanding movie - "The Garden of the Finzi-Continis" by Vittorio de Sica. I had been meaning to watch this film for quite some time but, like most things, I put it off. Unfortunately, it started at 1:30 a.m. so I missed the first half-hour. But the rest...Ah! Pure delight!! I cannot believe it was filmed in 1971 - almost 30 years ago. Of course, I immediately fell in love with Dominique Sanda...let's see, she's probably close to my age now! The acting was flawless, the cinemetography almost surrealistic, and the storyline heartbreaking, yet beautiful. If i can somehow see the first 30 minutes, this may explode into my Top Ten. No wonder it garnered so many awards in its day.
Anyone have anything to add? Comments? Opinions?
