Dit is echt een enorm leuk, lieve film met prachtige beelden van Limburg, mooie locaties en lieve en leuke personages. Is het een originele film? Nee. Maar het is een goed geregisseerde en vlot gemonteerde romantische film. Ik snap echt al die negatieve reacties niet. En in een officiële recensie las ik zelfs dat het tenenkrommend slecht zou zijn? Wat een onzin. Ik bedoel, welk romantische comedy is salon fähig? Ze zijn toch allemaal licht, leuke en makkelijk te behappen? Het enige minpuntje vind ik zelf is dat Limburg niet zo naar de grote stad kijkt, Amsterdam in dit geval, als dat ze in deze film doen geloven. Als ik iets zou kunnen aanpassen zijn het de dialogen die dit uitgangspunt hebben. Nederland als land is praktisch één grote stad. We leven feitelijk in één groot stedelijk gebied waar elke kleine stad zo bereikt kan worden. En ook Limburg heeft al tientallen jaren internet. De hele wereld is kleiner geworden en Nederland al helemaal. Limburg weet heel goed hoe het in de rest van Nederland is en ze eten er echt niet alleen maar zuurvlees. Iedereen valt ook voor Sjeffie, de love-interest van Loes/Monica. En als kijker snappen we heel goed haar gevoelens voor hem. Deze film laat ook zien hoe belangrijk een tegenspeler is. Sjeffie laat ons voelen, we snappen zijn emoties. Echt knap acteerwerk. Ga het zien deze film, mensen. Lief, luchtig en vrolijk. Met prachtig camerawerk en prettig vlotte montage.
This is a beautiful sincere lesbian, bi-sexual and gay tale, reminding of Cate Blanchett's 'Carol'. It's about trying to mend broken childhood dreams. It's about true identity and trying to adapt to the common denominator and finally having to realise that you have to go for your own true self. For true love. For true freedom and independence. Sometimes the dreams and lives we get taught as children do not fit who we really are and what we really want in live. This film is an instant classic. Beautifully executed (where I forgive two not so smooth 'corner turns in the script). I really liked the fact that this film is about several identities. About what it means to be a lesbian, bi-sexual and gay individual and how you try to find realness in a conservative society full of set expectations and written in stone identities. But it's also about the dreams of a heterosexual male who also wants to overcome his broken childhood and who wants to create a better life for himself with real love. So this is a film about all of us humans. It's for an lgbtq audience and a heterosexual audience. And the film Italie is not boring at all, mind you. It's not a commercial film where you can just be an entertainment consumer. Not it's a sincer work of cinema. It tries to connect with you as a human being. It tries to tell a story of what it means to be different from the mainstream sociocultural ideology. It's really a beautifully made film. I should give it a 10 because I found some twists in the plot a bit rough. But I forgive them. A full 10. It's worth your while. And it's also worth to be re-watched and to be owned.
This film is rather good and heartfelt. Yolanthe Cabau held her part very well. Strange that apparently I'm the first one to write a review in here? The film is 5 years old? It's about loss and love. And about how vulnerable life can be. And that it's too short to live a life which is not true to yourself. Live life how you feel you need to live it. As long it's true and honest, from deep within you'll do the right thing. That's more or less the message of this film. I had to cry a few times. It's a lovely film. Go see it.
