Review of Respiro

Respiro (2002)
5/10
Interesting and compelling, mostly
6 March 2005
Gorgeous film, beautiful people. Can Valeria Golina be more beautiful? I think not. And her hubby is gorgeous too. The scenery is also.

At first, I thought the movie moved rather slowly and I was ready to fast forward through it. Then it picked up and became rather compelling. I found myself quite engrossed until the end which made no sense to me and was a disappointment. By the time the ending came about, I was ready for a very satisfying finish which would tie up the loose ends. That did not happen. Instead an artsy ending was provided, which was lovely but ultimately unsatisfying as it did not answer the questions posed.

A good film flawed by an incomplete ending. Not sure I'd recommend it because of that.
