I must admit to being drawn to foreign films. I only wish I'd seen all of this one last night on GBR (Italian fta channel). As it was I only caught the final hour or so. The cinematography is beautiful and the acting excellent. The direction too is absolutely fine - no problems there, Marta Etura and Clara Lago who play the two sisters Val and Genia are superb.
The story, having just read-up a little on the film, now makes more sense - you know what it's like trying to piece together a film half way through it. The one thing that has left me a little annoyed though is the ending. If Rai knew, from the moment he fell in love with Val, that it had been her all along then why on earth was he so hard on Val's father? Perhaps in order to unravel that particular mystery I will need to see the whole film from the beginning - but where to find a copy in Italy? Hmm...
