Light of My Eyes - Film (2001)
I saw a wonderful Netflix movie last night from the Film Movement Collection, Light of My Eyes (Luce dei miei occhi) in Italian with English subtitles. Both stars are beautiful, and the story is sweet: tender Antonio falls in love with Maria who’s feeling defeated by life. He tries to rescue her, wants her to love him, but she’s too distracted by the challenges facing her to notice how good he is.
Like Respiro, which a group of us saw earlier this week, its message is about focusing on what’s good in life and leaving the rest behind. I like both films very much, but this one is more tender.
There’s only one tough scene with a gun (no dogs this time, Rosamaria), and it would get an R if I were rating it. (It doesn’t have an MPAA rating.)
Here’s the Netflix blurb:

Not rated. This movie has not been rated by the MPAA. The Sparhawk School
The Sparhawk School is a progressive private school that focuses on providing students with learning opportunities that employ all of their intelligences.
Last year we received a generous grant from the Centro Attività Scolastiche Italiane that enabled us to expand our K - 12 world languages program to include Italian.
You already know the benefits of beginning language studies as early as possible, and starting your bambini off with Italian as soon as they join our school, at whatever age that may be, will benefit their learning even if they decide to study languages other than Italian later or if they go on to excel in fields unrelated to foreign languages.
