(aparently there is a 'shot in parallel' English labguage version out there, but said to be awful)<br />You know, I wasn't really sure if that shot was in the film either.. There were a couple of places I thought it was coming up, but I don't recall seeing it exactly so. (Maybe I blinked). But a lot of films use stills from minor editing as publicity shots, as as the shot captures some of the esscence of some sections, I guess it's not that important. It's not as if they illustrate the page with a shot of the bit (totaly cut from the final cut of the film) where she brings down the drug lords helicopter with a hand held rocket launcher.<br />I really picked up on your comment "making parralells between Irene and Joan of arc", as at several points, I, (unprompted) thought exactly the same.<br />I also thought that, by far the high point of the film was Giulietta Masina as the foster mother.. by far the best acting and best character.<br />The rest... I felt far to overwrought, melodramatic. So i'd give it, maybe a little higher than you, and pleased to have seen it, but not a great film.<br />RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-23752577948092704112013-04-20T21:17:32.117-04:002013-04-20T21:17:32.117-04:00Not terrible, by any means, but all of Rossellini&...Not terrible, by any means, but all of Rossellini's movies left a bland taste in my mouth.Andrew D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13875921908336809524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-71587261782840636692013-04-20T01:53:20.568-04:002013-04-20T01:53:20.568-04:00Got it, not got round to watching it yet.. comment...Got it, not got round to watching it yet.. comment will be added soon!<br />RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
