Re: Impressive (4.00 / 2)

The film was well received by the critics but was not a box office hit. It will represent Italy as a Oscar candidate for best foreign film. Good luck!

Good luck indeed!

Any thoughts why it was not such a hit at the box office? Might it be because it cast a bad/embarrassing light on Italy? (This phenomenon seems to be quite prevalent among Chinese movies, Exhibit 1: To Live 活著, which is widely praised by foreigners, but pretty much universally criticized and scorned by Chinese.)

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.

Re: Impressive (none / 1)

The film came out in summer when everyone goes on vacation. I expect it to be re-released around Oscar time.
