I can't imagine how this was passed over by the Oscars. One seldom gets to experience this level of acting and writing (thankfully).
I purchased this DVD because it was filmed in Rome, a city I love and adore.
But the shots of Rome don't make up for this movie's shortcomings. First, there is no one in this film to care about. No one. Sarah J. P. plays such a poor parent that it's impossible to believe much less care about. Second, the plot is so simple and cliche ridden that it could have been written by a high school student. Third, S. J. P. Is old enough to be the male leads mother. Fourth, she can't ACT, but she does mimic a teenage girl shaking her head and tossing her hair well. Fifth, it will break your heart to see Claudia Cardinale in this film.
Although I wanted to see the scenes shot in Rome, I had to stop the film before it ended. It was just too painful. If I put it on ebay for 50 cents, do you think anyone would buy it?
