Very Cool!!!

Sorry, this movie sucks

Really Surprised!

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

This film is of the zany humor variety. I have to say it took me a little while to get into the mood necessary to enjoy it.But once there ... a viewer will find an endless amount of material to be amused by... every detail in every set has meaning----well bizarreness is a better word.If you liked Blazing Saddles you will like this movie.If you find this phrase funny: Your wife has been found she is an accordion player in a florists shop...you will like this movie.Unfortunately I am almost 60 now and a little of this kind of thing goes a long ways now.Also some of the zaniness is just a little too bizarre to be "effective"

Bread and Tulips (2000)A feel good movie that is also a good movie. It's beyond just warm and colorful, with scenes of Venice night and day, and beyond just triumphant, with true love winning in more ways than one. It is most of all populated with great characters. Italian leading lady Licia Maglietta is a wonder of naturalistic acting. She is sympathetic of course, but not a cliché. She plays a housewife on a diversion away from her family, and she looks and acts like a housewife. As strong as she is, and as independent, she is also devoted to her family. The fact she left them at all is perfectly unfolded as an accident that she turns into an opportunity, all by intuition. The man she meets is no paradigm of handsome or charming, in fact he's just the opposite. But he is so inherently good, a really decent human being, she comes to like him, and look out for him. Played by Swiss actor Bruno Ganz, he matches Maglietta's believable ease and imperfect, quiet intensity. The rest of the cast is truly supportive, and tips just slightly (or more than slightly in one case) into caricature, to reminds us, I suppose, that this is a movie, a fantasy, a comedy in many ways.But it's also a deeply serious and moving love story between two middle-aged people who are ready for renewal.I have a feeling many people, especially people with families or those conservative at heart, will find the basic premise of a woman leaving her family in a glib and almost carefree way and not going back for a long time to be shameful or even sinful. Her kids are normal distracted teenagers who like her when they notice her, her husband is a hardworking and loud businessman who doesn't beat her, her home is her own and comfortable. In other words, she has a really normal life, a good one by most measures. Does everyone have the right to up and leave a working family relationship because they feel a bit restless? Is this movie a worship of selfishness?Or is it a reminder that life is short and you have to get to what really matters, and be with people who are truly wonderful and good, no matter what?I can't think of a more joyous way to ask the question.

If you like some romantic flair Italian style, "Bread and Tulips" is just your bang! Self-discovery is what a lot of people want, even I would do such a thing. When you got a housewife who accidentally left behind on vacation, she begins to discover herself one step at a time. She got two sons, a husband who happens to be anything but faithful. Then there's this owner of a apartment with a troubled past, who gets the surprise he'll never forget. There was a lot of meaning to the movie. It has everything to do with flowers, especially the tulips. It's funny when the husband sent a detective to find the wife. Only to find love as well. So that's two people on a quest of discovering themselves. Living in Venice can be a great discovery for anyone: The music in the air, the people, the restaurants, the entertainment anything to top it off. This movie can make you either fall in love, or build up Aan appetite you never have in your lifetime. I would go to Venice and get the experience of the lifetime. Let your spirit soar in this movie. CIAO! 5 STARS!

Licia Maglietta and Bruno Ganz are so wonderful in this movie that I wish it had been a better film, because I would love to watch their performances over and over, but I won't be doing so, because, besides Maglietta and Ganz, the movie is only lukewarm."Bread and Tulips" is a lighthearted romantic comedy about a middle-aged woman who accidentally walks out on her family and starts a new life in Venice. Rosalba's (Maglietta)'s husband, Mimmo, dispatches a private detective, actually a plumber who came to him for work, to bring her back home. Comedic and romantic complications ensue.The revelation here is Licia Maglietta. She is simply one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in a movie. She's not just beautiful, she is entrancing. I'd put her appeal in the same class with Garbo. There is a scene where she wrenches a tune out of an accordion (it's actually her playing the accordion) and the look of pleasure on her face has more life and sex appeal than most actresses can achieve in the most rigorous of love scenes.Bruno Ganz, who has convincingly played both an angel ("Wings of Desire") and Hitler ("Downfall") is as wonderful as ever as an older waiter.Ganz and Maglietta make very beautiful music together, but, otherwise, the film is underwritten and lightweight. Rosalba says virtually nothing of substance in the entire film. Venice, a picturesque city, is photographed with so little imagination that the movie may as well have taken place in a K-Mart parking lot.There are some nice gags involving a tulip and an antique gun, but, really, I wish this exact same cast could be brought together for a more ambitious, more fully realized film.
