When the Withered Leaf Awakens

There are some beautiful shots and intense dramatic scenes in this movie, set between London and Italy.

The flow of dialogue almost feels like improv at times, so it has a very natural feel in some scenes.

The camera loves the lead actors - Simone is a model/actor. Check out too Stephanie McNeil, Mary Grace Tropeano, Clara Neumann, Jack Chambers and and younger versions of these. The colours, including what the actors are wearing at different stages of the plot are also deliberate - see which characters are wearing the SAME colours, to know who is in sync with whom.

The music is particularly evocative is making the viewer feel that something negative is about to happen - which it does!
