The myth and the reality of the Italian family are often wildly different. The traditional sociologist will tell you that everything still revolves around the concept of all-for-one-and-one-for all, but the reality of contemporary Italian life is something else. Husbands threatened by working wives who are intelligent and with emotional lives of their own. The new woman who is made to feel guilty if she doesn’t devote her every thought to her husband and children. Children who are into drugs or looking for more glamorous, financially rewarding careers. They’re all here in REMEMBER ME, MY LOVE. Fabrizio Bentivoglio and Laura Morante make an attractive couple, but each is frustrated and dissatisfied by the traditional roles they are supposed to fill. Enter Bentivoglio’s high school sweetheart, played by luscious Monica Bellucci (Mary Magdalene in Mel Gibson’s The Passion) and the fabric of the Italian family begins to unravel. This is the kind of film about which critics used to say, “You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll never forget….” Well, it’s true. You’ll remember REMEMBER ME, MY LOVE. ~ Nick Salerno
