Remember Me, My Love Reviews
This one is full of stereotypes and quite predictable - it is still a nice movie, with some good acting and dialogues, but there is nothing really new.
I'm Italian and been living in the States for many years. I was curious to see an Italian movie again and so... OMG. Over-acted, frenetic, cliched (I've been to those parties and such and it just brought back such bad, and bored memories). Maybe Italy has become over-acted and a cliche'..... Unsufferable.
Remember Me, My Love (Ricordati di me) (2003) Directed by: Gabriele Muccino Unrated, 2 hr. 4 min. Release Date: September 3, 2004 A nice little affairs drama in I-talian dealing with infidelity on one generation level and growth into sexual relationships on the following generation all under one roof. It has some exiting serges into light from bleak understanding of monogomy and the accptance this kind of chemistry cant be re-expierienced or not just given the right space, a lot of years together with family demands can cloud this and some fantasising is necessary because this never happens ...right.
Non e' un film da cui si puo' imparare qlco di bello... ma ecco diciamo che questa storia puo' succedere a ognuno...
Nice tempo and using camera motion in scene to give the feeling of passion. Overall impression is bit pale. Reminds me "Fall marathon" Italian style.
This could have been titled Believe in Me, My Love. The people in this film all have issues with confidence, exasperated by the fact that no one believes in their abilities. Carlos (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) has an unfinished book he has been writing for years. It remains unfinished because his wife, Giulia (Laura Morante) thinks it of no consequence. Giulia, meanwhile, gave up her acting career because Carlos told her she didn't have the talent to continue. The story is built on this foundation and presents to us two people who must seek validation outside of their relationship. In many ways, this is a sad tale of two people who love each other, but the pieces just don't seem to fit. This viewer found the juxtaposition of the husband and wife seeking to fulfill their dreams separately to be moving and somewhat emotionally draining. The arguments that ensue as each discovers what the other is up to present some classic screaming fits by Giulia that would have added a comical touch, if they had been a little less numerous. Meanwhile their two kids are struggling with finding their own way. The daughter pursues a dream and uses her body to achieve it, while the son just tries to make friends and hook up with the girl of his dreams. The film was well done. The pacing and the music enhanced the story as it unfolded. One felt that one was eavesdropping on these people and their lives. An intimate film that invites us in without being intrusive.
I was really not a huge fan of this movie. I saw a glimmer within it of something that I actually did want to see, but a glimmer was all it was: the play Giulia was in seemed intriguing. Watching these characters interact fills me with the feeling that I'm somehow missing something that they're all privy to. Nobody's happy with who they have, but they all seem to want to salvage their old relationships just to spite each other. I will never understand women who blurt "I never want to see you again" and still expect thier partner to stick around. Carlo's clingy wife doesn't know what she wants. They both cheat on each other, yet interpret the infidelity of the other as a deep personal slight. This movie reminded me of Closer in that the tragedy lay mainly in the fact that if only the characters knew how to communicate thier desires honestly and articulately with each other, they wouldn't constantly hurt each other as badly as they do.
the pace ws too quick...is lyf soo hasty?? thr ws no scope for the characters to show some magic and thts wat lacked its strength...but it had some inner beauties....th wife did good in her part.....and that worths seeing an average muvi...
I liked this Italian drama about a family in Rome where the father daydreams of his college girlfriend & unfinished novel, the wife about her unrealized acting career, the daughter about making it in show business and the son about his unrequited love . . .
A great story line. the actors was pretty amazing= I felt the character in every role~ they said that guys can't forget their first love= thank god I have a religion~
Stunning Italian women in a movie about dysfunction relationships. What more could you want? No real story line but good characters to follow. I thought the end was headed for a weak spot but it went back to where I hoped it was heading.
