Audience Member ???? ??? ????? ?????? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The big draw here is Valeria D'Obici's performance as Fosca, the woman whose passione d'amore drives the whole story. The handsome officer who is her love object is predictably shallow, but stay with the movie and see what happens. I looked at this movie in hopes of seeing Laura's Antonelli, if you know what I mean, but now I don't even recall her performance or whether she had a customary nude scene. The movie's all about Fosca, and it's powerful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Ettore Scola.... Italy is starting to give rarely great movies ....this is one Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member No comments a wonderful story about love , madness ugliness, beauty, wars. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member a romantic vampire movie without a vampire. watch it with herzog's nosferatu. or instead of it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I was very touched by this one - love, passion, longing and the morale Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
