So here we are in Sicily in WWII with a small minded town and a gorgeous movie star with great--er, attraction.
If beauty can be its own worst enemy, this movie demonstrates that jealousy and envy ride the same whirlwind to hell. A lonely, beautiful woman is an easy target of the dark side of human nature, isn't she?
When all was said and done, I could not see the essence of good reviews of this movie. My DVD didn't have any director's commentary as some other said their's did, and I was left thinking that with any other actress, one less well-endowed physically, nothing at all would have come of this thing. The other actor of note, Guiseppe Sufaro (Renato), certainly was excellent in his first outing, and made me pine for that first untouchable older-lady-love of mine when I was a teenager.
Yes, Monica Belucci was beautiful, but her two paragraphs of dialogue did not let the viewer get to see anything inside of her. But we got to see it all on the outside, which was a plus ;-) 6/10 stars.
