Product Description
UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN (FULL FRAME)
Amazon.com
Though she made her first movie at the age of 13, Diane Lane has only blossomed into a true star in her 30s, and Under the Tuscan Sun marks her full flowering. After a brutal divorce, Frances (Lane, Unfaithful, A Walk on the Moon) is persuaded by her friend Patti (Sandra Oh) to take a tour of Italy--where, on a whim that she hopes will rescue her from her desperate unhappiness, she buys a rundown villa and sets out to renovate it. Along the way, she gets advice from a former Fellini actress, meets a scrumptious Italian lover, and helps support Patti after her own relationship derails. The conclusion of Under the Tuscan Sun holds no surprises, but the deft turns and observations along the way are delightful. Lane carries the film effortlessly but surely, exuding both heartbreak and re-awakening passion. --Bret Fetzer

I've watched this movie at least 25 times and I still love it. It inspired a family trip to Tuscany. I would return there in a New York minute if I could.

I haven't seen all the movie, but so far so good. Will come back later and finish.

For all those romantic comedy lovers, this is one movie you shouldn't miss. For the rest of you...watch it anyway, were it only for the great panoramic views of beautiful Tuscany.

Having read Frances Mayes' travelogue UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN: AT HOME IN ITALY and enjoyed the flow of her reconstructed a shabby old treasure of a house there and her inimitable conversation about how to enjoy the special qualities of Tuscany, seeing this book adapted into a film seemed a reasonable step. After seeing the film and finding it so completely unrelated to Mayes' book - using it more life a stage on which to create a lot of 'audience pleasing subplots' - this viewer passed on writing a review. Seeing the film again, years later, without any expectations to meet, was a pleasant surprise. Get past the Audrey Wells superimposed episodes of Sandra Oh and her baby, of the love affair gone awry, and the Fellini reenactment etc and the film has some charm. Diane Lane tries her best to make us consider this little story a transformation event and in many cases ti works. But not always in the manner in which it was intended.
What does come shining through are some bit parts by actors who deserve more attention and more exposure. For instance, the 'workmen' who help Lane's adapted character transform her villa into a 'home' for all manner of folk. One of the actors who plays the young Pawel, Pawel Szajda, has all the necessary qualities to bloom into a fine career - and hopefully this film will be a springboard for him. Also Lane's 'at the end of the film only' lover Ed is played by another solid newcomer - David Sutcliff. Otherwise the possibility of falling in love with beautiful Tuscany is a bit blurred with all the generated little stories that add little to the film. But then again, it IS durable - which says a lot for the many love affairs with Italy that both the book and the film started! Grady Harp, July 10
A Must See July 8, 2010
Shelly (Westminster, Co.)
A great actress and beautiful scenery. It is good to watch a woman coming into her own and growing strong from from what can be a devistating loss. Women will love this and men should watch it at least once.
