Product: Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)
Rating: 5.0
A Visually Beautiful Movie With a Woman's Touch
It really was a wonderful movie in the tradition of Chocolat. A moving tale of the restoration of a Tuscan villa that parallels the restoration of the protagonists life. Diane Lane is finally getting her much deserved leading roles and she is brilliant in this part. A subplot involving her Polish team of contractors is rewarding, particularly the Romeo and Juliet like storyline, showing that a pure, true love can exist. This movie is so lush and visually stunning that it is like taking a two hour vacation. Written and directed by women this film has a very welcome feminine touch.
