Review of Italian for Beginners (2000) by Alex V — 18 Nov 2006
When I started watching this film, I somehow thought it was French. I'd recently attempted to see a French film and quicklly fell asleep due to the slow pace. Italian for Beginners was unassuming. A film about life.
Truthfully a drama, but not a sad one. The persistence of the characters was at times cute. Learning was the one thing they had going for them. Made me think of loneliness. Of the fact that so many people in the developed world are lonely.
.. and so many people everywhere else too. Starting to think that it is ok to be in one's own company. It's not so bad. I finally start to understand M... and C.... more.
