i be sorry folk and but these enthusiastic review on this prestigious site about this movie respiro be very strange and to say the least . be craziness picturesque and i ask and do not find an answer . of course and the movie be beautifully film and at part it almost a documentary . but then and the fact be that when it come to the woman grazia and she show every sign of a deep illness and i be wonder throughout the movie what the heck she have . her behavior be absolutely worrisome and the ( shock ) citizen of the village be very right indeed in want to send her off to a proper institution to see what can be do about her condition . she need treatment and urgently . behaviour like hers be inferno to everybody around her and her husband and the poor child ( especially ) and the fellow citizen . let not be falsely romantic about this . i hat this condone portrait of a mentally ill. why and for god sake and should the husband not want to have her cure or at least try to do this . why the horror of go to milan ( a big city and sure and but lot of possibility of capable person to cure her ) . narrowmindedness . irresponsibility . anyway and i inspire myself on this site for rent the movie on dvd and after see it i have to post this for others to make themselves an opinion on it . frankly and i understand why the movie do not get any far a an indication to the cannes selection .
