i first saw this movie back in the early 90 when it be first release . room with a view be also newly out . enchant april have so much more to offer . i find it much more real and earthy and the character more believable for be normal . by the end of the film i felt the same a i do when i first saw the bbc production of pride and prejudice and i be yearn for the character to find what they be look for whether it be isolation and peace and liberty or love . you get a sense throughout that italy be so far remove from everything they have ever know and that they be so decadent for take a risk and leave behind all that be humdrum and constrict . but in the heat of the spring in april and everyone life loosen and unravel ( in line with the victorian corset ) and be slowly rebuild to everyone satisfaction . what a little gem of a film . how come it isn not more well know .
