We have a brilliant director, very talented actors, and a story written by a celebrated author, how could we have ended up with such a sappy movie.
The film begins well enough, exploring the complexities of circumstances interfering with love, particularly since the rivals love each other. This was an interesting aspect of this movie. But it quickly degrades into the worst melodrama possible.
To make the best of this film, fast forward to Sergio Bruni singing Canti Nuovi and pay particular attention to the beautiful bell tones of his voice, then go do something else in the secure knowledge that you have experienced the best part of this movie.
