I have always been a sucker for a good chick flick. A wonderful cast bring to life a novel about four women who rent an Italian castle to escape their dreary lives. I won’t list all seven names of the performers who make this so great. Even a couple of characters I wanted to dislike were given enough depth so that I cared about everyone in the end. It moves from one to another or to a group interacting with each other. I have read the old book this is based on and like a couple changes they made to it. I just realized as I looked this up that it was a remake of a 1935 early talkie version. It is a quiet and unassuming movie, so much so that I was a little surprised it was nominated for a few Oscars, and won some Golden a Globe awards. It took me years to track down a DVD copy of this and retire the old grainy VHS version I had.
