Dianne R Don Q is a beautifully crafted film that is touching, funny and sad all at the same time. The cinematography is gorgeous and colorful. Armand Assante captures our hearts and draws us into his blemished and haphazard world. And we experience Little Italy so intimately that it feels like we're actually there. The ensemble cast of characters is funny and entertaining. A great film all around!
