much like louis malle similarly theme film from 1987 au revoir and les enfants and vittorio dasica the garden of the finzi contini be a meditative piece on the relatively safe haven of a group of people in this case and an entire family of wealthy jew who enjoy a life of privilege a the horror of world war ii and anti semitism rage on . the finzi contini and however and believe that their position of wealth and their very home will shield them from be touch and and they move on and oblivious to the world outside and in a frozen period of time and space that seem and for a moment and to spare them and until it become rather clear that the wall that so protect them be begin to crumble and that they be head towards an inevitable train wreck which will destroy all that they know . a their right and the right of the jewish people be strip away from them and they find themselves suddenly awake into a reality they can not understand and but must move into . dasica movie be a slow move lyrical poem which differs from his early neo realist work and and capture in it running time this illusionary reality a if all this be a dream that the finzi continis be have . the filtered lens only maximize the almost enchanted beauty that pour through from the screen and onto the viewer eye while indeed and this be nostalgia for a time go by and a trip down memory lane and a subtle incursion into a denouncement of the horror of war which never rear it ugly head but whose presence ultimately swallow a family and whole .
