Product Description
Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 05/05/2009
This lovely, 1991 adaptation of Elizabeth Von Arnim's novel has a superb cast and a tone so mellow you can feel your pulse get slower. Josie Lawrence and Miranda Richardson play a pair of unhappily married women who rent an Italian villa for a month, sharing the rent with a crusty Englishwoman (Joan Plowright) and a lonely aristocrat (Polly Walker). Sun, rest, sinking into the green grass for long naps--they all have a soulful effect on the quartet, and then on the men in their lives who make a surprise visit. Mike Newell (Into the West) directs with seeming effortlessness, and it is impossible not to be swayed by the promise of restoration for these burdened characters--or for anyone alive. Wonderful performances all around, including a particularly sensitive one by Alfred Molina and a very funny one by Jim Broadbent. --Tom Keogh

Very pleased February 17, 2010
Katherine M. Heeter (Maryland)
I gave the movie as a gift to my mother and she loved it. She especially enjoyed the movie because it was set in Italy.
Indeed an "enchanted april' February 10, 2010
Margot Paterson (Brisbane, Qld Australia)
I bought this DVD for a friend whose old video tape was wearing thin. I had seen the film but was delighted to see it again. Yes it is alike in feel to other films set in Italy in a different time, but it stands alone with yet another take on people from different yet seemingly similar backgrounds brought together for a short time.

This story has made me yearn for a vacation in Italy but not doing tours, a real vacation, relaxing at a Villa like in this movie! The story line was interesting and provocative. The acting was great. I highly recommed this to romantics.
WONDERFUL January 22, 2010

OKAY. All I can say is this: This movie is just wonderful. All my favorite British performers in an exquisite rendition of this marvelous tale. PERFECT.
One of my top five favorite movies. January 5, 2010

I agree with many of the reviews and will not comment on the plot here but just say the script, setting, filming, editing, and acting by great veteran British stars is superb! I too waited several years for this to come out on DVD as I had it on tape and laser disc. So happy it finally was released and thank Amazon for encouraging fans to pre-order so the manufacturer could be persuaded to release. It is probably just a "chick flick" to some but it certainly is the best one I've ever seen. I see it every six months just for the way this movie makes me feel - like dialing up my travel agent and booking a trip to Italy. The Villa is magic and the men and women characters so very rich and diverse thanks to excellent directing and acting. The emotional reactions you can experience in watching this film are uplifting and just the one for a gloomy day! Very few movies get five stars from me, if they do, they are usually British as they still are best at acting and telling a story in the most bewitching way! This is a "must have" movie as you will want to watch it over and over just for how it makes you feel. Don't miss it - it truly is quality too good not to own!!
