Review of Italian for Beginners (2000) by Paul S — 07 Jun 2010
A tenderhearted masterpiece of modern film-making, created by Lone Scherfig adapting Maeve Binchy's story "Evening Class." At first, I found it took a few minutes to get accustomed to the simple home-video style of the film; and then I was amazed by the Dogme 95 process and how it served the story by accentuating the characters' human frailty and spiritual strength.
Overall, I don't know a lot about Danish film, but if you liked "Babette's Feast," here's Christmas for you...
