Malena.
This is such a beautiful, heart-warming and touching experience. Anyone who compares this to Summer of '42 needs to see it first, because Malena is a notch above. It makes you go through a range of emotions - innocence, sensuality, happiness, pain, sorrow, rage...the list is endless. It is a coming-of-age movie yes, but it also has so many other underlying currents riding along that it touches and grips you, and doesn't let go. And of course, the stunningly beautiful goddess, Monica Bellucci, whom I absolutely adore. She conveys so much with her silence and downcast eyes, its a wonder how this magnificent lady hasn't had more character-driven roles in her career yet. The direction and cinematography are gorgeous, but watch the movie for Monica, her simplicity, and her amazing chemistry with the boy. Recommended as a must-watch for all lovers of finesse in cinema.
