Una Bellissima Storia d'Amore

Musicophile

Recensito in Italia il 26 ottobre 2013

In molti conoscono questo delizioso film in costume del grande James Ivory. Quello di Camera con Vista è un Ivory più delicato, estremamente romantico ma i temi della lotta fra amore e passione, del confronto fra culture e classi sociali diverse sono sempre li, in ogni sua pellicola, ma non tutte sono perfettamente riuscite come questa, con il suo superbo equilibrio fra commedia e dramma, dove il filo della tensione è teso sul limite della tragedia che però non si consuma mai a favore della Passione e dell'Amore con la A maiuscola. Fotografia, costumi e musiche rendono al meglio in questo splendido affresco in HD. Da noi disponibile solo in Dvd. Non bisogna quindi esitare ad acquistare questo stupendo Blu Ray con immagini e suoni Restaurati per goderselo tutto di un fiato fino all'ultima toccante inquadratura. In Inglese con sottotitoli in Inglese, per apprezzare in ogni sua sfumatura la recitazione di mostri sacri come Maggie Smith e Judi Dench. Consigliatissimo!

Poetico, per sognare

Recensito in Italia il 9 dicembre 2014

Un capolavoro. Delizioso film sugli inglesi che amano l'Italia, caricaturale il giusto, poetico e delicato, gioca sui luoghi comuni sull'Italia senza mai essere banale, si ride e si sogna con la nascita dell'amore dei protagonisti. Solita ambientazione curatissima di Ivory, attori bravissimi (eccezionale naturalmente Daniel Day-Lewis che disegna un personaggio indimenticabile!). Da vedere, rivedere e avere assolutamente!! Sottotitolato (la versione italiana non lo è, evitatela). Ottimo prodotto, ottima consegna come sempre.

Ho comperato la versione inglese perchè la versione italiana del DVD, pur avendo la lingua inglese in alternativa, predisponeva solo i sottotitoli in itlaliano (così come quasi tutti i DVD del mercato italiano)

Film bellissimo, nel genere secondo me secondo solo ad Howards End. Attori bravissimi e diretti molto bene. Extra "dell'epoca", con programmi della tv inglese che parlavano del film.

Classic romance period drama

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 9 marzo 2024

No murder, death, betrayal, just the wonderful visions of Florence and English countryside. Every character is deep and well acted, the writing is superb. It's a classic. Rated GE for good ending.

Good Movie

Recensito in Canada il 7 aprile 2019

I was so happy to be able to watch this movie again. I wish that I could have visited Florence when there weren't hordes of tourists! This movie is a chick flick with brains.

Iconic

Recensito in Germania il 23 luglio 2020

An iconic film, with many first-class actors, some still in their youth, and an excellent DVD edition with lots of extra features and interviews. Why don't they make pictures like this nowadays?

最高です☆

Recensito in Giappone il 20 settembre 2020

何年も前に買った｢紅茶辞典｣の最初の頁に、古き良きイギリスのお庭でアフタヌーンティーの場面が紹介されていたのが、この｢眺めのいい部屋｣の一場面でした。面白そうだなと思って購入しましたが、思った以上に素晴らしくて、お気に入りの場面を何度も何度も見ています。こういう恋愛ものは美しい。本当に出会えて良かった作品です。

Only a person with a heart of stone would not openly weep when they watch this classic film

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 30 luglio 2014

For me, this classic film is a very good example of how bravery and strength of character sprinkled with determination and fortitude against a backdrop of snootiness, pomposity, and pretentiousness will ALWAYS win the day.

Here we have an ‘Inner Realism’ film that focuses on ‘the observer within’ and explains that WE are our own OBSERVERS – but we do not know HOW to OBSERVE because we are so addicted to the external now-world that we haven’t mastered the SKILL of observation – and all the brain does is function out of RESPONSE instead of out of RATIONALITY and REASON.

Although ‘Inner Realism’ has been used as a sub-text in opera and ballet for centuries to make strong points and deliver lessons in life through emotional turmoil, Chaplin was the very first to use the CINEMATIC medium to explore and exploit the ‘Inner Realism’ idea and you can experience this in ‘The Kid’; ‘City Lights’, and the timeless classic ‘Limelight’ - a style of film making far removed from Chaplin’s ‘The Circus’, ‘Gold Rush’, and the time-honoured satirical classics ‘Modern times’ and ‘The Great Dictator’.

ASIDE: ‘Theme from Limelight’ is one of Chaplin’s best loved musical scores and it sits alongside ‘Smile’ from ‘Modern Times’ – sung by thousands and revered by millions.

The hit shows ‘Les Miserables’ and ‘Phantom of the Opera’ (both coming up to their thirtieth year in the West End) use the potency of ‘Inner Realism’ - and the emotional ‘roller-coaster’ ride the spectator is taken upon probably explains why these shows are so compulsive and have run for so long.

The film introduces us to Miss Lucy Honeychurch – a rich socialite wanting for nothing, displaying her passion for life (which she expresses at the piano), being stifled by Miss Charlotte – Lucy’s dictatorial cousin; nanny; governess; and now chaperone – a sad devious spinster who uses her scheming underhand tactics to enjoy a life of luxury; and uses her prowess to dominate Lucy – including breaking confidences to an ungifted but mercenary ‘pulp fiction’ writer who uses every opportunity to develop a storyline to sell books to the masses – even though her grammar and ability to write is atrocious – as witnessed later in the ‘book reading’ scene in the garden - a scene that is a gamechanger for what follows.

On the way we meet Reverend Bebe - a gay vicar who uses his ministerial influence to gain access to Lucy’s gay brother Freddy; Mr Emerson - a wise and gentle, generous working-class man who speaks from the heart with no airs and graces, who graciously gives up his ‘room with a view’ to Lucy and her chaperone; his son George – a lost gentle soul who falls passionately in love with Lucy - and expresses himself with tenderness, compassion, and verve; and Cecil – a pompous useless ‘free-loading’ idiot who lacks strength and vivacity, who is seeking out a wealthy woman – any wealthy woman – whom he can marry so as to gain access to her fortunes and live the life that HE chooses – whom Lucy is set to marry – despite being passionately in love with George.

The performances are sublime (Denholm Elliot is on fire and a very young Helen Bonham-Carter delivers a truly stunning performance as Lucy Honeychurch) and there is so much depth to this film.

In it we see the deceit of people with hidden agendas and we learn that for the most part, people are wired to victimisation and suffering; people are wired to gloom and misery; and people are wired to stress and despair – and these feelings become their EMOTIONAL AGREEMENTS, and these emotional agreements become the BAROMETER OF THEIR REALITY – because one’s MENTALITY is ‘attuned’ to accepting that THIS IS THE WAY THAT LIFE IS because THAT is all that they know – unless they (we) are willing to CHANGE to bring POSITIVE outcomes to our lives through the DECISIONS we make and the ACTIONS we take!

A LOT is said about the importance of having a POSITIVE attitude and treating people fairly to bring about a positive experience as we live our lives by always being BRAVE, facing adversity with positivism; and always remembering to evaluate opinions and situations and to ‘look before you leap’.

There are so many fabulous scenes – the scene when Mr Emerson puts cornflowers into the hair of an elderly woman; the scene when George kisses Lucy in the barley field; the scene when Charlotte tries to get out of paying for a taxi; and the touching scene when George kisses his father as George prepares to move to London are just a few of the many many memorable bitter-sweet scenes that await you as the story unfolds.

How does it all turn out? Well you will have to watch it to find out!

To sum up dear reader: just get this fabulous film and watch it with a big box of tissues at hand!
