A Modern Classic of Italian Cinema
6 July 2007
Tho made for television I like most people saw this great movie in the theater - in two parts. I have since seen it non-stop on my cable network & it only gets better with age. The acting is A+ and the dialog seems minimalist but very effective but best of all is the photography which shows the most beautiful parts of Italy: Rome, Florence, Sicily & ending up in Tuscany. The period of forty years flies by & you become part of the family - each generation. Kudos to everyone involved - this is a rare achievement. The period from the 1960's to the year 2000 follows a natural historical line which is effortless to follow on screen & makes for an epic classic film
