    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When Jeremy first finds Weldon Parish (Harvey Keitel) in his wine cellar, Parish turns towards him, brings his arm across his chest, and says "Klaatu barada nikto." This phrase originated in the 1951 science-fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still, when aliens stop the planet Earth and warn its inhabitants that they must cooperate or the planet must be destroyed. The 2008 remake starred Keanu Reeves, who insisted that the line be included. [N.B. if you have subtitles turned on for this film, it is likely that they will read something like "says a foreign language." ]
    • Goofs
      In the bar, when Jeremy offers to buy Weldon and his card playing friends a drink, the wine carafe in the middle of their table is almost empty. Jeremy sits down, and Weldon then proceeds to pour him a glass from a suddenly magically filled wine carafe.
    • Quotes

      Weldon Parish: The sun sets, slowly, igniting the sky in fiery shades of red and orange. In the distance, dark clouds rolled over the horizon, riding the summer winds. Soon they would give way to night. And with it would come the silence that washes over everything.

    9/10
    Set in Tuscany, The Shadow Dancer is a cross between a romantic comedy and a drama.
    It would seem that you just can't please some people if the last review of this movie I read is deemed to be correct. As I was unable to find this movie on DVD locally I bought it from overseas.

    I loved the story. OK, so it is a feel good movie, it doesn't contain violence, its not action packed and it won't give you the answers to life, the universe and everything, BUT it is a great movie for a rainy Sunday afternoon. It is filled with humour, wit and a touch of tenderness. It both puts a smile on your face and can bring a tear to the eye. The cinematography is beautiful, the actors are well cast, the dialogue snappy. Having watched this several times with friends and family, everyone has enjoyed it and its well worth the time.
