it is magic paino man 1900
There are few great artists left today....but the master of producing pure beauty is Guiesseppe Tornatore...director of The Legend of 1900...who portrayed Monica Bellucci at her most sublime n the heart wrenching Malena where he showed the complexities and hypocricies of lovethat a hollywood director could'nt dream of and of course is most famous for themost beautiful perfect movie ever, Il Nueovo Cinema Paradiso.
How do i sell this movie?i won't go telling you what happens as in 2 lines I would give the entire story away. I will say thereis no violence, no sex, no witty chat...indeed not much chat of all, no locations apart from a liner and the east docks of new york..
Almost nothing happens in the entire movie...nothing has to, it is beautiful perfection and watchimg it is like being at the national art gallery in trafalgar square looking at a great Turner...and I was amazed that Tim Roth could carry such a movie almost single handedly but he waswonderful in holding himself back.....almost to the point of underacting. If you want to see the greatest director at work in english instead of his usual Italian this is must see
