an exceptional film... stunning photography

Wonderful story... great acting.

If you love the Lake Como area of northern Italy this is for you. A special relationship develops between a man and a woman driven by something much deeper than the lust that permeates most of today's movie-making.

Edward Fox is simply magnificent and Ms. Redgrave is at her best. The tranquility of the time will amaze you. The world outside seems to be quickly falling apart as life goes on for the people in the film. If you want to enjoy a few moments of fun with a clever, delightful film this will be perfect.

The place in which they are staying does exist but not as a Hotel.

If you want to know why people like George Clooney fell in love with Lake Como, see this film.

It captured my wife and I from the very beginning.

Hollywood is rediscovering this region of Italy. (the Hotel in this movie is the place where Bond recovers from attack in Casino Royale and also part of a Stars movie)
