I can't really improve on Jm10701 or Steve222's reviews. This is an overly long soap opera. Yes, the scenery is beautiful and it is easy to catch the mood the director is shooting for since the actors do their jobs well. While I agree with Jm10701 the only person who really stands out is Massimo Poggio (Matteo) I think he had the best part too. It is hard to shine when your lines or part don't. I didn't know what the third couple was there for or the Uncle. Talk about fifth wheels.
Anyway, if you decide to spend almost two hours on this muddled, floundering mess, you may want to know (Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler) - the much anticipated sex scene doesn't occur until the very very last couple minutes. Even this they ruined by cutting away e v e r y second to show Matteo's wife winding her way up the stairs to catch Matteo & David at it. Cut away a little sure, for "suspense." But no, every second. Ruins it.
