Film: Stealing Beauty (1996)

DVD: Anamorphic
Stealing Beauty

"It's easier to stay alone."
"Lucy, Lucy, Lucy. You can't have decided that at your age."
"I haven't decided."
"You're in need of a ravisher."
"I'm waiting."

Review: This is a slow idyllic movie that sets a mood but never bores with it's creeping pace. Every time I watch it, I feel as if I'm taking the perfect vacation in the Italian countryside.

"Can I see?"
"No! I mean... I never let anybody look until it's finished."
"Does it look like me?"
"It's not supposed to."
"It's not?"
"Of course not. Didn't anybody ever tell you that the true artist only ever depicts himself?"
"Thanks a lot."
