| ♥♥♥♥♥ | They Are Beginning to Discover Love! |
| "Italian for Beginners" (2000) is a very good and strange movie.
When I rented this VHS, I was convinced that I will see a comedy. So the critics said, the advertising and even the reviews in different web pages state it. Well, I disagree. This film is enticing, stirring, endearing... whatever, but comedy? The story is about six people. There is a young pastor stepping into a parish to temporarily substitute an obstinate and aggressive suspended titular; a good looking mid-thirty hairstylist with an intruding alcoholic mother; a pleasant hotel receptionist and his friend, usually angry, in charge of a bar; a lovely Italian kitchen-maid and last but not least a blundering young bakery employee. This six go around with their lives in a little Danish town and will be, little by little, entangled one with the other. All of them bear an internal pain or lose, all of them are in deep need of affection and care, all of them will discover love by strange and tangled paths. There are comic moments in the film but nearly all of them are shadowed by some mishap, including death. Director Lone Scherfig adheres to Dogma95 ascetic principles: no musical score, natural light, hand-held cameras are three of the ten premises; working within this background she manages to deliver a small oeuvre d'art that will leave the viewer deeply moved. The cast, unknown actors and actresses for me, give an above standard performance. Believable and sober all of them flesh their characters with great compromise. I strongly recommend this film!
