Movie Review: Two Women DVD Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my wife and she loves it. Oldie but goodie movie - and yes, a tear jerker.
Movie Review: A harrowing epic of wartime travail...
Summary: 4 Stars
Rosetta (Eleanora Brown) is in love with Michele, a student known as The Professor (Jean-Paul Belmondo)... but Michele is attracted by Cesira (Sophia Loren) mother of Rosetta...
As the Allies were near, and the bombardment more intense, running and frightened German Soldiers compelled Michelle by the force of arms to show them the road in order to escape through the mountains...
Cesira decides to return to Rome with Rosetta...
On their way, completely tired and distressed, they took shelter in a bombed-out church... There, they looked for some protection... They didn't know what was expecting them inside the walls of the holly church, in the shadow, in the darkness...
From a sex symbol to a talented actress, Sophia gave the tragic performance of her life--a mother in despair... Her solemn, profound, significant face, her tears and hatred, reflected the horror of War... Her formidable dramatic performance won her an Oscar in 1962... She also won her critical Awards in Cannes, England and New York...
"La Ciociara" (Two Women) is a tribute to a great filmmaker... Sica's description of the portrait of the misfortune widow and her daughter in 1943 wartime Italy is certainly effective and powerful...
Movie Review: great film, lousy copy
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a wonderful film about a mother struggling to preserve the safety of her child in war-torn Italy. The acting is absolutely superb, and the young JP Belmondo is a great surprise. The mother leaves Rome with her daughter for the bomb-free countryside, where she finds family and hides. Of course, it doesn't work out that well, first for danger and hunger, then their fate at the hands of rogue soldiers. The end is tragic but hopeful, as a new society is set to arise.
Unfortunately, the quality of this dvd is extremely mediocre - fuzzy images, muffled sound, etc.
Recommended for the art but not for the technical execution.
Movie Review: Not so racist...
Summary: 4 Stars
I have seen this movie several times and, although it is not a comparable work to "Roma Citta Aperta" or "Bicycle Thieves", it is good rendition of a superb novel, and deals with the painful transition of the liberation period.I am very disappointed to see a reviewer classify it as racist, because he's "never heard" of Moroccan soldiers in Italy. This ignorant standpoint is very unfortunate. Those facts really did happen, the Moroccan troops being part of the French liberation contingent. It is one of the darkest pages in the war in Italy.
Movie Review: A Great Foreign Film
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a film that a lot of people don't know about or remember, but it's a great one! Many people think Sofia Loren was just a light-weight sex symbol actress. In this film, she shows her true acting abilities and won the academy award for her efforts. This is a movie that a mom and teen age daughter would really enjoy. Some don't like sub-titles, but "two Women" is woth watching!
