Respiro - you could have someone's eye out with that!

This is yet another excellent film from the italian, sorry sicillian stable. Who cares about brushing up the Italian, you can go to an italian restauant or an evening class to do that. This film is a meal that is flavoured with spices and herbs to make you tingle and savour every moment, from the sensual and passionate but not too revealing Grazia, to the lads who were working, playing, fighting (& being disciplined to the full when necessary). You might have noticed there were no computers or TV as such, just healthy boisterous kids with an appetite for life. (Something we have left behind). Maybe you didn't like the 'dogs' scenes but this is real life in the Med where folk are afraid of rabies so don't moan about something if you ain't been there. What a fantastic end to the film as well, kinda makes you think how's she gonna explain this one and lets you imagination keep you awake working it out. I want to go there and experience the heat, the sea, the food and the people. But until I do I hope to enjoy many more films like this.

(Oh and there are subtitles if you need them!)
