Didn't like it or didn't understand it, I cannot tell. It left me nothing except that vivid 70s vibe, really on point. Only thing I actually enjoyed.
Too much rushed out to be truthfully good. What a pity though, cast and plot had potential
I'm not a fan of musicals, at all, so I was sceptical to say the least. That said, I think I mostly enjoyed because it was so far from my tastes and 'comfort zone' in movies. Not very fond to catchy singings, random dances or that poetic aesthetics, but it kinda worked and it was quite enjoyable even for me. Best part: the ending, for sure.
Beautiful costumes, beautiful scenaries... an authentic pleasure to watch. I greatly enjoyed as well how Italian historical events merged naturally into the family life's narration, making of them more than mere context. Also, great performance by Burt Lancaster imho
Honestly I thought I would have loved it more than I actually did, it being a masterpiece of cinema and one of the most iconic Audrey Hepburn's film. I think what I really enjoyed though was the ending: that final cut on Gregory Peck leaving the conference room... gosh that really got me.
Great movie, still worthy to be watched in 2021. Just wished the very end of the film was different: i wasn't botherd by the coupling (i mean this was meant to be a teen movie) but without all that makeover part would have been basically perfect.
