This gem is too new to be forgotten. Seek it out!, 18 February 2001
10/10
Author: James Weslowski (Turk-3) from Bryan, Texas

This is a warm, wonderful film. It is touching and funny and one of the very best "humanistic" films from Italy after Fellini lost his touch. It's hard to understand why this film is so little know to younger movie buffs. If you can find it, take a look!
