Tea with Mussolini1999

This gets my vote as director Franco Zeffirelli’s finest film. Certainly, it’s his most personal.

对体面和优雅的维护并不仅仅是为了表面上对光鲜的保持 更是某种对自我信念的坚守//老太太是个很有意思的身份 她们既是长辈是过来人是某种权威 同时她们也比其他年龄层的女性更具有某种主体性 漫长的岁月带给她们的不单是学识和见识也包括了很多根据自身衍生出的喜恶 不一定对但一定是舒适圈

Zeffirelli creates a lovely, perfectly composed and lyrical look at life under Mussolini's black-shirted fascist regime. But despite danger on every corner in Italy, there is a tinge of rose-colored sentiment that blurs the events yet lends to the making of an affecting dramatic period piece.
