Italy
Nice little film about the difficulties making real connections in today's urban society. We have a lonely ten yo girl, her single mother and her mother's swain...a lonely newcomer to the city who works as a chauffeur, reads sci-fi, leads a rich fantasy life and tries everything he can think of to win the heart of the girl's mother.
The scale here was small, intimate. The tone was sad, reflective. Things happened but without drama...the sense presented was that life just goes on while sympathetic people struggle to meet their needs. The resolution was ambiguous but leaning toward happy which sweetened the effect but couldn't overcome the overall mood of the film.
Very well-played/written. Not hollywood.
