Description:
Winner of an Italian Academy Award for Best Director, Pupi Avati's latest film is a dazzling comedy with a poignant streak set in the Rome and Bologna of the 1920s. Nello Balocchi (Neri Marcoré), 35, is a shy and clumsy man devoted to the academic world. His lack of interest in women has become an increasing source of anxiety to his womanizing father (Giancarlo Giannini), a tailor for the Pope. He sends Nello to teach in a high school in Bologna with the hopes that he will find a wife. After a series of mishaps, he finds himself at a dance in a home for blind women, where he meets Angela, a beautiful society girl who went blind in an accident. She turns his life upside down and teaches him that there is a lot more to love than meets the eye. Directed by Pupi Avati. Cast: Neri Marcoré, Vanessa Incontrada, Sandra Milo, Giulio Bosetti, Nino D'Angelo, Giancarlo Giannini. Color, 103 Minutes, Italian with English Subtitles, Drama, Not Rated

I am Italian, and I loved the way Bologna is shot in this movie (Bologna is a beautiful city between Florence and Venice which deserves more attention from tourists than it currently has). It is clear that there was a good director behind this movie. However, the story is very very soap opera-like and the main characters' acting is stunningly inept.
The "love" story is really a one-sided thing between Nello, one of the dumbest characters you will ever see on screen and Angela, a beautiful ... Read More

It,s a good movie, excellent play and interesting the subject. My only problem was that it is so sad, almost like the Postino. But that does not decrease the artistic value

This is essentially, a lesson of life instead a love story. The main feature is a very talented profesor who dominates in notable extent Latin language as well as classics such as Virgilio and lucrecio among others. He is a very shy man who having reached his 35 still have not gotten a couple worthy of his affection, until that day comes, when a blind woman will engage and inspire in him the best of his feelings. There is a notable appearing of Giannini as his father, sailor of several Popes, who makes a terrfic ... Read More

There are so many reasons why this is a great film. The hero of the story is a 35 year old man who is attracted to women but
extremely shy of them. His father, the tailor to the Catholic Pope, is very sexual so he cannot understand what the problem is with his son. Nevertheless, he directs him to go to Bologna in the 1920's where the man teaches Greek and Latin to students preparing for university. At a chance encounter, he discovers a beautiful woman without sight who enchants him. He falls in love at ... Read More
