Italian Film Festival - Manual of Love

'Manual of Love' (Manuale D'Amore) is such a wonderful film. I really REALLY enjoyed watching it. Uplifting, enjoyable, funny, thoughtful ... it's many things.










You see ... it's a movie with 4 stories in it.

The title describes a self-help book about the various phases of love.

In this movie, the 4 stories represent the 4 major parts of love: -
* falling in love
* crisis
* infidelity
* parting

The story is cleverly crafted and weaved together seamlessly as it goes through the lives of the people in each story before joining to the next story.

It's also enjoyed commercial success in Italy and that's not hard to imagine. Even picked up the best supporting actor and best supporting actress awards in the David di Donatello Awards (the Italian equivalent of Oscars).

In short: I love it! :)
