this be one of the few movie that be recommend to me a absolutely brilliant and that really be . if you give this movie a low note than you really miss the point . you could describe fosca a manipulative and but what if it be really serious and that she get ill when the love she be sure of isn not answer . but what would you do when you be sure that the other one love you and and be only reject by the fact that you be ugly . wouldn not you fight for it . at least i think it be well to fight for it that die in bitterness . and it remind me of the fact how i and a a man and react at first sight completely on the physical ugliness of fosca and do not look far at the person she be or might be . this movie confront me with very solemn question about respect and trust and feeling manipulate and so on . how do i now if someone manipulate me or be just try everything to make contact . what i think to be the most outstanding feature in this movie be that ettore scola make it absolutely believable that giorgio fall in love with fosca .
