Movie Review: Italian For Beginners

Italian will romance you
Love and death, not necessarily in that order, are the storyteller's two chief inspirations.

Both are found in abundance in this bittersweet Danish pastry of a film called Italian for Beginners, opening tonight at the Princess Theatre. The body count rivals a Steven Seagal flick - a wife, a mother and a father, just to start with - tragedies setting the stage for six lonely people who find love while attending an Italian class at a community college in Copenhagen.

Light as pastry romance
The most remarkable thing about the day-brightening Danish confection Italian For Beginners is that it's a light-hearted romance from a heavy-hearted "collective" of European filmmakers.

That would be Dogme 95, the movement that gave us Lars Von Trier and an organization that requires its filmmakers to sign an anti-Hollywood manifesto before giving films their stamp of approval.
