A movie that rejuvenates one's soul

This is such a delightful movie, uplifting and poignant. The story revolves around four women - two unhappily married women [played by Josie Lawrence & Miranda Richardson], a curmudgeon of a widow [Joan Plowright], and an upper-class disenchanted beauty [a luminous Polly Walker, most recently seen in the HBO mini-series Rome]...all four co-rent a beautiful Italian palazzo for a month circa the 1920s. Josie Lawrence acts so convincingly in her role that you truly believe in the magic of the place & time, and that life does not have to be complicated unless one wants it to be. Miranda Richardson plays her role as the uptight wife of an author quite well, with great facial expressions that give us a glimpse into her emotional upheaval. Joan Plowright is delightful as the grumpy widow, and Polly Walker is convincing in her role as a jaded aristocrat.

The men in this movie are definitely just supporting characters, but each one, from the guy that plays the owner of the palazzo, to Jim Broadbent's author, and finally Alfred Molina's stuffy solicitor are significant in enhancing the plot, and enlivening the proceedings.

The cinematography is simply beautiful, evoking the lushness of the Italian landscape, and the upbeat tone of the movie definitely makes this a movie to be watched, especially for those of us who have moments when our spirits are flagging.

I was lucky enough to catch this on cable recently, but do wish it would be made available on DVD soon!

Loved it -- want it on DVD!!!

This is such a beautiful and entertaining film! It is gorgeously acted and filmed. UNFORTUNATELY, having gotten rid of my VCR at long last, I'm not able to actually watch it anymore! I've been trying to find it on DVD and, based on the reviews, see that I'm not alone in this. Please, movie people, release it!

highly recommended but no dvd

The biggest fault with this movie is it's not available! Lovely and sweet, I keep recommending this movie to friends but still no disc. At least they could give us an estimated year of release - ya think?

Should have won an academy award!

This is my favorite movie of all times. Whenever I am feeling down, I know that all I have to do is to watch this incredible movie. It never fails to please. I love, love, love it!!!!! It makes me happy, happy, happy!!!!!

super relaxing escape and top class actors

This is gorgeous film, humorous and light, and moving The cast are superb and it is the sort of story that is so re-watchable, not too emotional and be enjoyed repeatedly. Frustrated English women in stilted marriages get together to escape to Italy for the summer, there new love is found and frustrations of english conventions are released. Lovely costume and set, and scenery designs.
