Bread & Tulips

This enjoyably whimsical romantic comedy from Milanese director Silvio Soldini stars Licia Maglietta as the unfulfilled fortysomething housewife Rosalba, who falls for a melancholic Icelandic waiter Fernando (Bruno Ganz) during an unexpected sojourn in Venice. With its dream sequences, eccentric supporting characters, and bitter-sweet sensibilities, Bread & Tulips follows its own singular path, whilst mostly retaining a fairy-tale charm.
