I Am Love (Io sono l'amore)
Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Michael Clayton) delivers a stunning tour-de-force performance in this exquisite Italian epic the Miami Herald calls "...a bold and thrilling masterpiece." Swinton stars as Emma, a married-in member of the incredibly opulent Ricchi dynasty. On the cusp of sweeping family changes, Emma finds her existence shocked to the core as she falls into a passionate love affair with her son's friend and business partner, Antonio.

A Moving Painting - Cine
This film is beautifully shot in the city of Milano and the surrounding countryside. However, it was not just a treat to watch but the story is very intense and engaging. It is a 'fly on the wall' observation of a patriarchal family of wealth that buckles under the strains placed on it by modern times and modern problems. A must see for fans of Italy and European film. This is a moving painting...a work of art. Enjoy.I am Love - veech409
A superb film....photography of Italian landscape was unforgettable. Plot was somewhat hard to get into but as it unravelled we got to know the characters. The passion shown by Tilden is unbelievable. The "extras" on the disc bring a closer view of what the characters have to overcome. The commentary by the director fills in many holes. I would recommend this film to all art lovers.Score: 9 out of 10 - MrMoviePicker
This romantic drama shows how frailty and the fleeting nature of life may open doors to profound renewal. Like a great novel, this film seems to grow in importance after you've had a chance to consider it for a while.
While perhaps too slow to be quite as good as THE LIVES OF OTHERS, this is easily among the best film of this kind released this decade.
