October 21st, 2007Lucy (Liv Tyler) travels to beautiful Italy to have her portrait done, chase the ghost of her mother and grasp the reins of love. Bernardo Bertolucci film is thick with sexual tension which shimmers like heat waves over the lush countryside. Liv Tyler dances around these waves in an Italian villa where a group of bohemian artists and friends have gathered to spend the summer. Jeremy Irons is poignant in his role of a dying playwright. But it is Tyler's ethereal beauty that captures the screen. You are often left wondering if it is film or phantasmagoria. For me the it was magical and it had nothing to with the film.
Rating: * * * *
