I’m honestly now sure what I thought about this one. The middle-aged widow from a rich family moves to Italy, is seduced by a suave young Italian, has a baby and dies. All along, the family tries to figure out how to retain its honor. There were some interesting characters in this (the son & daughter of the rich family), and some which made no sense at all (the Italian guy, and the Helena Bohnam Carter character – who was never really explained). In the end, there were some memorable scenes, and memorable lines, but as an overall cinematic experience, it was lacking a bit.

Much better than I’d anticipated. Just all good stuff from start to finish – I liked the pacing as well. The only thing I didn’t get was what “charisma” the leader had – what a slimy dude. It’d have been more realistic if he looked & acted like a TV preacher.
