London, the 1920s. Lottie and Rose are two married women who share the misery of empty marriages and decide to rent an Italian castle for the spring to get away. In order to save money, they advertise for two other women to join them. Mrs. Fisher is an elderly widow is struggling with a lonely and regimented existence. She jumps at the chance to join the vacation. Lady Caroline Dester is a gorgeous flapper who has been grabbed one too many times and believes that she is sick of men. They arrive in San Salvatore. The seaside italian castle is drenched in wisteria and sunshine. The women find themselves in a transformative beauty so enchanting that they experience changes in themselves they never thought possible.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Watch This Movie! submitted by James C. Clark on February 4, 2012, 10:03pm This movie may not be on everyone's list of favorites, but it is a cleverly orchestrated dance of the human condition very worthy of a full viewing. Michael Kitchen does a nice turn as the myopic millionaire, and Joan Plowright's change of viewpoint will have you grinning in spite of yourself. Perhaps you, like my wife and her friends (and I include myself here), will even find it necessary to re-screen* it every few years to renew your faith in humanity.

*after seeing it once, you will want to select appropriate head gear for subsequent viewings.
