This is a story of a virgin girl; Lucy who went back to a beautiful rural province in Italy to get her portrait painted by her uncle after her mother passed away.
The first 15 to 20 minutes of the film was compelling where what seems to be a house full of middle aged strangers who chance upon, talking about sex all day. but what was compelling before quickly turned incoherent and rather confusing. the script was cloying with too much sentimentalism and cheesiness. I guess i can almost relate to what the director was trying to show his audience but he does not quite get there amidst all the sub plots and anti climatic scenes.
There was one scene in the movie that cracked me up though, it was where Lucy stumbled onto an old friend of hers whom i assume was her pen pal, and then 2 other beautiful European men stepped in to say their hellos to her. That scene was like one of those porno flicks reaching for plot. It was kinda hilarious, and i seriously thought then and there, it would lead to a three way romp... and it didn't, i was once again disappointed.
All i had to take away from this film was the beautiful rural Italian scenery and the respectable cinematography.
2.5/5 stars
