so wonderful and so quirky and so romantic and so italian . the film be so feather light you float off into it refract reality and you never want to return to the humdrum again . a kitchen sink world of bakery and and hairdresser and and plumbing and but one that shimmer with a soft luminescence . should the credit go to the screenplay or the direction . take your pick theyre both faultless . let me get back to that new york city that lie just beyond the look glass .
