The amazingly versatile Sergio Castellitto adapts his wife's novel into a tour-de-force film in which he gives a stellar performance and directs with bravado. Penélope Cruz gives a heart-breaking and devastating performance as a destitute woman named Italia with whom an affluent doctor played Castellito falls in love after initially raping her. Castellitto doesn't take any prisoners and doesn't shy away to put himself and Cruz on the edge for this wrenching love story that's so real. There's nothing beautiful or romantic about this film where two different people from different worlds crash and fall in love without any rational explanation for the doctor who has a perfect life with a gorgeous wife. That's where the film has its pulse without missing a beat. The film haunts you for a long time after. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
