Scola shows us his social critique of the past, but made in a present where outer beauty is necessary to reach success. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

01/02/2009 ???? ??? ????? ?????? See more 03/07/2008 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. See more 02/21/2008 Ettore Scola.... Italy is starting to give rarely great movies ....this is one See more 12/17/2007 No comments a wonderful story about love , madness ugliness, beauty, wars.
