There are so many good foreign movies, but I must admit to being terribly lazy because reading subtitles is hard work. I was fortunate enough to see this film, the work Tilda Swinton, a story about a repressed housewife, for lack of a better word. She has lived her life doing what is expected of her, for filling her role as hostess, mother, and executive in charge of her family's vast Italian villa. Sadly, amidst all of these roles, she has forgotten the most important part of all, and that is being herself. It is in this lush sensual Italian countryside that she finds who she is and what she wants and she is forced to make the decision to choose a new path. Tilda Swinton is an absolute elegant and strong actress and the result is striking.
