    Two tales twisted together than should never have been

    Big Problem; if you are using two languages....make sure you have subtitles that work. The Italian speech is not subtitled.

    I have no problem with the London story of a young man coming out of prison. I have no problem with the Italian story of a couple split up because of a tragic accident. When the Italian story was unfolding, I wanted it to go back to the more interesting London setting.

    But trying to intertwine the two didn't work for me. A little bit of research shows that the director was Italian who moved to London. This makes sense, as he has written what he knows.

    The cast is good, the locations juxtapose with each other quite nicely, the grittiness is well done. But at no point did I 'get' any of it. It clearly meant something to the director, but not to me. Shame, this had possibilities.

    • Trivia
      The Habit of Beauty (2016) has mainly English with some Italian dialogue, but the version playing on Amazon Prime has English subtitles but none of the Italian dialogue is translated. All of the communication between the two leads is incomprehensible unless you are fluent in Italian.
