Just saw this great film at the Starz Denver International Film Center. The soundtrack is wonderful and we would like to buy it. Any suggestions? I would recommend the movie for those who enjoy Italian cinema. My husband is a jazz pianist and loved the film. There are some great early scenes where the two friends attend a jazz workshop in Umbria one summer. An Italian gentleman introduced the film and described it as a "very personal" film. Although it does not cover heavy subjects like the environment, politics and the like, it touches your heart, he explained. One of the most impressive aspects of the film was the convincing way in which the "musician characters" appeared to actually be playing their instruments. They were also very well cast and quite charming.

Pupi Avati is one of the best Italian director in the way he draft the scenarios, also if often at the end of his movies a little bit of delusion remain, maybe as the "ensemble" needed a different rewriting. This movie is about love. The love for the music in first: during the jazz performances the evidence of this feeling is strong. The love for the friendship, this strange link that sometimes led to unpredictable behaviors. The love for a woman, and is here were the movie let the bitter taste. Maybe for the director this feeling is more difficult to be described in real terms, in my opinion. I have enjoyed more other movies of Avati, but I believe it worth the ticket price.
