Ah, finally, another Fellini nomination.

You seem tutto peso with things Italian. Two more lightweight,
lighthearted films I'd recommend are 'Ieri, Oggi, Domani' with Loren and
Mastroianni, and the more recent 'Bread and Tulips'.

Who hasn't seen Local Hero.

You need to run, don't walk, to your local video rental place....

Actually headed there in a few minutes. "Things Italian. . . ." Yeah, its
like discovering candy. I always liked Fellini in that Village Voice kind of
way, and NJ upbringing made Sopranno's seem like a documentary, but then I
saw "My Italian Journey" and it put Rosselini, De Sica et al in perspective.
And the journey into irregular verbs, obscure verbal modes, articles,
prepositions etc continues. I figure Ill be able to curse effectively and
ornately in the nursing home in Italian at the rate Im going.

Here's a fun movie recommendation: "Crane World," Argentine. A wanna-be
crane operator, ex rock and roller, negotiates middle age with the help of a
few of his friends. (Italian accented Spanish, w/ English subtitles).
Seriously.

Great TR and pix by the way.
