Caught by a Wave

This movie is soo beautiful that i automatically watched it again after i watched it for the first time, i really liked ittt. I love the song of the movie too ( Promise) by Ben Howard.

A marvel in the silverscreen world, if with another director, or with a different screenplay, or simply by using another main cast, because something went really wrong in a kind of genre that usually hits the homerun whatever...

its an italian love you till death, coming of age romance drama, with extremely good looking young actors, in a extremely beautiful filming locations near palermo ( that agonizes me alot because this is the time of the year i usually do a medical rehabilitation trip to warmer latutudes e.g. Gran canaria , and i cant travel anywhere due to corona) , and most of all its a film about how to say arrivederci in an extremely slow tempo, without the typical italian verbal and nonverbal communication techniques. The caracterbuilding is also slippery when wet and the split enz relationships are pretty complicated. The health issue isnt cancer this time, its a nevromuscular dystrofi that is the silent slowly developing death sentence in this flick. So its easy to summarize, it misses the target due to untrained castmaterial, and the storys plotted terribly amateuristic. Even though some good scenery filming, and clear blue sky and perfect sailing conditions its not good enough.so sore and yet forgotten by the grumpy old man.

A good romantic movie and an even more beautiful actress Elvira ... A beautiful story.

Lovely, well acted film. Sensitive, romantic, coming of age. Great soundtrack. You get a sense of family and belonging, of life, relationships and living life even when experiencing love. Love between parents and love between lovers. Life can last 10 years, 16 years or a life time. The same goes for love. It is an honour to be able to love someone, no matter for how long.

What a lovely little film this was. The chemistry between Elvira Camarrone and Roberto Christian was responsible for this, but the extras were top notch as well. You can measure quality by that, by the fact that the supporting roles are also played with care and attention. The mix of love, hope and sadness makes this a movie that can proudly stand next to 'The Fault in our Stars', 'Now is good' and others in its genre. Highly recommended for those who enjoy this genre of films. For sure.
