Review by Dan S on 17th October 2000

A wonderfully evocative film perfect for a miserable day. Four ladies in Edwardian Britain take the bold step of hiring an Italian house - unchapperoned, no less - to escape from their drab lives.
During a sun drenched summer away from the straight jacket of London they are free to discover who they are.
Wistful in the way that Cinema Paradiso was or the excellent La Gloire De Mon Pere.
