i have just finish watch this gripping film . i be on the gothenbeug film festival and but i do not see it . the 6 and 5 hour be a daunt prospect . on swedish telly the divide in into 4 part which be show 4 day in a row . it be one of those series where one be long for the next episode and i find myself ponder about the film and the character all day . so many thing have be say already in other review which i do not have to repeat i just say watch this lowly very slowly unfolding slice of life and italian history . if it doesn not move you you will have to have a heart of stone . excellent acting and wonderful photo and lot of atmosphere .
