I watched the movie yesterday with a friend of mine and we enjoyed it a lot. It's a beautiful movie. I think we're both tired of depressing looking grey war movies so the fantasy elements and the beautiful photography were welcomed.
You didn't warn us about the 5 minute long make out session between the two old people towards the end, which was both gross and traumatizing.
PLease post more movies. I struggle to find movies to watch that are not shit
Haha, yes....old people romance just isn't done. I have another movie lined up and it's not as good a movie as this one was but it has value all its own. I'll try to put up a review over the next week.
I remember it vividly after 41 years, such are the powerful aesthetics of the film. And perhaps that's the point, pace Ebert, that we remember history as series of striking vignettes rather than coherent narratives. FYI: La Notte di San Lorenzo refers to the feast of St. Lawrence, martyred by the Romans by being roasted on a gridiron. His death coincides with the annual Perseid meteor shower, known to tradition as "the Tears of St. Lawrence" -Heaven weeping at his death.
Thanks Niccolo, I’ve never heard of this film, but your review inspired me to check it out this weekend.
Let us know what you think of it.
Has anyone watched it over the weekend?
Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance over the weekend. I still plan to.
Where is the best way to watch it online? Would like to watch it before reading the review
I am old school and still use torrents. You can find a working one here with eng subs at the top of the page - https://tinyurl.com/y7gxx6ut
