SYNOPSIS
Who hasn't dreamed at least once of running off to a foreign country and starting a new life? That's exactly what Frances (Diane Lane) does in UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN, directed by Audrey Wells (GUINEVERE). Traveling in Tuscany after a heart-wrenching divorce, Frances surprises herself by making an offer on a rundown villa--the biggest impulse purchase of her life. With the help of a warmhearted, smitten real estate agent and a local contractor with a team of Polish workers, her 300-year-old house is slowly transformed into a home. Along the way, she encounters a larger-than-life British ex-patriot, kind and generous neighbors, and a charming Italian man or two. Essentially, the film is an affirmation that good things can happen if one lets them--and that sometimes what seems like a terrible mistake or a crazy idea is a really a blessing. Lane is completely engaging as Frances, second-guessing her speedy purchase, looking for love, and rediscovering herself. Based on the book by Frances Mayes, the film was shot on location in Rome, Florence, Positano, and Cortona in Italy. The breathtaking scenery is sure to have viewers saving their pennies for next year's vacation--or their Tuscan dream house.

戴安莲是我的老偶像了,这部电影看过很久,是属于那种不适合写影评,更适合YY的emotional escape: ))

我有这本书,没看。看了电影,觉得太侧重浪漫。其实外国人到意大利定居并不容易。
谁不原意靠写作就能维生, 可以自由地到处跑,不必上班?但是像这位女士到意大利旅游就买房子滞留下来,简直是天方夜谭。 - Re: 好书和好电影:UNDER THE TUSCAN SUNposted on 10/01/2007

That's why I said the movie was too romantic to be worthy any serious critics, and there is no way to try this at home, even at one's own risk: ))

Haven't you guys done the same? You came to a foreign country and 滞留下来. Isn't that romantic? :)))) - Re: 好书和好电影:UNDER THE TUSCAN SUNposted on 10/01/2007
A bunch of leftovers came to the land of obscurity and were left over again. You call this romantic? ;)

滞留了,但是没有自由,不像作家。 - Re: 好书和好电影:UNDER THE TUSCAN SUNposted on 10/06/2007
