Bread and Tulips

One of my favorite movies, hands down. Funny, touching, and she plays the accordion. What more could you ask for?

When a harried housewife is accidentally left behind while on vacation with her family, she decides to take a holiday of her own in Venice. She becomes charmed by the city and her newfound freedom. She decides to extend her stay, finding a job in a flower shop, renting a room from a wistful waiter and rediscovers her love for playing the accordion. But her solo journey does not sit well with her tyrannical husband, who hires an amateur detective to bring her back home.

CAC's Comments: This film will make you laugh out loud, bring you to tears and fill you with joy all in one and a half hours. One of the best Italian films out there today.

This foreign film is fantastic and entertaining. I had been looking for it for some time and found it at Amazon.com. The merchandise was delivered very quickly. I am very happy with it.

Not a raucous comedy by any sort, but delightful in that it is just pleasing to watch. Its not artsy-fartsy, doesn't try to kill the script by going for laughs or gags, its just a nice light film to sit back and indulge in.
What woman in her right mind HASN'T fantasized about chuckin' it and taking off in search of adventure?
My bag is already packed for when that moment hits me....

I really enjoyed this movie.
It's a beautiful romantic comedy in an Italian setting.
Makes you want to live in Venice.
What I love about European movies is that they focus on the actors and rely upon them to make the story beautiful. They always make sure to show the beauty and culture of Europe. Fascinating.
I think more women than men would enjoy this movie. I think it comes from a woman's point of view wanting to find something new and exciting in her life and not having any family obligations.
