 Shadows in the Sun July 30, 2006

Having never heard of this little gem of a movie, I watches it in on flight and was completely captivated by it as a whole. Although the plot was somewhat predictable, I did not find the characters a cliche. Americans sometimes think that depicting women in patient or nurturing roles is politically incorrect. Having just returned from an extended trip to Italy myself, I found the women to be amazingly thoughtful, sensual, and yes, full of scrap and spirit. The feminine spirit can do amzing things to nurture and tend others and I applaud this movie for daring to portray it.I found the women in this movie the true support behind the journies of the "main" characters. I also enjoyed the evolving relationship between the older writer and the younger publisher. As the relationships took on meaning for both characters, their commitment to each others well fare grew. They were both passionately devoted and stuck around for the natural out-come. The final scene was somewhat predictable (we knew the girl would get the guy) and yet it seemed the only correct ending. My faith in mankind, my passion for relationships and the creative spirit were rekindled. This movie has it all; death, excentic artists, love, romance, anger, depression, etc,,, I loved it.
I was forced to watch this movie on a transcontinental flight. July 28, 2006

This is a rare movie that goes beyond its superb acting, engaging plot, and beautiful setting to explore deep philosophical issues: What is creativity? What makes a writer great? Why are some people compelled to write? Why would a great writer stop writing? It is an immensely enjoyable and engaging movie. As someone who has spent parts of two recent summers in a small village in Tuscany, I was immensely impressed at how well the movie captured the spirit of one of the most magical places on earth. It is one of those rare movies that I will want to watch again and maybe again.

I loved this film. It had romance, it had sadness and it was funny! Although Josh and Claire didn't have much scenes together, they had great chemistry especially the scene where they are dancing to the romantic ballad, Sway by Dean Martin! I can't wait till the film comes out on DVD!

Stunning Tuscan scenery, well filmed and a superb storyline. There is no bad actor nor any bad role in this entire movie! I've never known much about Harvey Keitel before this film. I've seen him but the characters he played never matched his ability. But, this film is, by far, THE BEST role I've ever seen Mr. Keitel play! The depth of this movie will amaze you and long after the movie had ended, good vibes and happy thoughts will linger in your mind! This is a must see movie, definitely an addition to my personal collection and is a "feel good movie" that I will watch again and again! Enjoy!
