Saw Under the Tuscan Sun last night. As Sidney says, it's definitely a major chick-flick. But I still enjoyed it. I mean, who wouldn't love to get divorced from a cheating partner and move to a villa in Tuscany? Stars Diane Lane, who everybody seems to like. Based on the novel by Francis Mayes. I heard the book spent a lot more time describing food, the meals, and even included recipes. Trailer posted here. The landscape-shots were postcard gorgeous. I could've sworn they based several of the shots on scenes from old Fellini films (English site here .. any Amarcord fans out there?). Rotten Tomatoes gave it a Fresh rating, altho I admit that most Film critics have peculiar artistic sensibilities, which don't mirror that of mainstream viewers. Worth seeing if you have at least one romantic bone in your body. |
