Romantic, thought provoking and encouraging film with Intelligence and good humour. This film for me delivered from every angle in every different way, the cast were terrific, the scenery was mind blowing and the chemistry between the characters was like no other of this genre. It would have been very easy for Joshua Jackson to feel intimidated by Harvey Keitel, but instead brought out of him his best performance to date. Claire Forlani also delivered an awesome performance with a great Italian accent, after seeing her in Meet Joe Black and The Shadow Dancer it's hard to believe she was born in the UK.
Truly Magnificent, not to be missed by anyone.

It would seem that you just can't please some people if the last review of this movie I read is deemed to be correct. As I was unable to find this movie on DVD locally I bought it from overseas.
I loved the story. OK, so it is a feel good movie, it doesn't contain violence, its not action packed and it won't give you the answers to life, the universe and everything, BUT it is a great movie for a rainy Sunday afternoon. It is filled with humour, wit and a touch of tenderness. It both puts a smile on your face and can bring a tear to the eye. The cinematography is beautiful, the actors are well cast, the dialogue snappy. Having watched this several times with friends and family, everyone has enjoyed it and its well worth the time.

When you hear about a romantic comedy in which an editor visited a secluded ex-writer won't impress you. And when the first fifteen minutes of the movie show some stereotypical images of rural Italy, you might even pass on it. Exactly out of these overplayed scenes bordering with B-comedy The Shadows in the Sun started to develop.
Eventually, we remained within romantic comedy genre, yet it gets the maximum out of it. At first the characters seemed as if they came from a regular romantic novel, but this evened out to create a framework for some genuine emotion, despite occasional cheesy moments.
If Harvey Keitel was the expected heavyweight in the artistic crew, Claire Forlani was an unexpected surprise. She looked better than ever and mastered a perfect Italian accent.
We might argue what the purpose of cinema should be, but Shadows in the Sun was one of those movies that made me feel good without boring me or making me feel stupid. And this is a rare quality, in particular in romantic comedy.

I also saw this movie at one of the advance screenings. This is my first time posting on this site, but after seeing this film I had to. I have always loved Italy, in particular, Tuscany. This movie captures the feel of small village life perfectly. Being a huge Joshua Jackson fan I was eager to see the film and I was not disappointed. Jackson and Keitel are wonderful together and the story of this young, reserved writer who is afraid to follow his heart and the older writer who is afraid he cannot be what he once was is magical.
We all live our lives with, hopes, dreams and desires and somehow through time they seem to fade away. This movie deals with the courage it takes to truly follow your heart and do the things you love most.
Of course it is more than that, because Jackson's character also falls in love with Keitels daughter... but will he find the strength and conviction to make it work?
The scenery is fantastic. Ah, Tuscany, the golden light, the stone buildings. Itr is almost as if the village they filmed in is another character in the movie. The lighting is wonderful, filled with shadows... but the key to the movie rests with the performances of Jackson, Keitel and Claire Forlani. Also the actors who play the priest and hotel owner are wonderful.
This is not a big movie... not a huge budget movie... it is a simple story about life... love... and finding it within yourself to reach out and take hold of the things that are most important.
A truly enjoyable movie

It was very nice to see the brilliant but often vulgar Harvey Keitel in such a breath of fresh air in newer movies. The plot, while typically formulaic and cheerier than life, is very interesting and captivating. There are a few scenes which are of the PG-13 variety, and a few mandatory obscenities, but overall the movie is done with great down-to-earthiness and honesty, and makes you really want to watch the whole thing.
Claire Forlani and Joshua Jackson are both relatively little-known actors in my mind, but each gives a likable, cozy performance worthy of mention. In fact, I am looking at their respective movie histories here now in order to have a few more good picks in mind the next time I order my Blockbuster Online movies.
Overall a very heartwarming, mildly comical family movie that I hope propels its actors and other participants on to further glory. See it.

¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesWhen Jeremy first finds Weldon Parish (Harvey Keitel) in his wine cellar, Parish turns towards him, brings his arm across his chest, and says "Klaatu barada nikto." This phrase originated in the 1951 science-fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still, when aliens stop the planet Earth and warn its inhabitants that they must cooperate or the planet must be destroyed. The 2008 remake starred Keanu Reeves, who insisted that the line be included. [N.B. if you have subtitles turned on for this film, it is likely that they will read something like "says a foreign language." ]
- PifiasIn the bar, when Jeremy offers to buy Weldon and his card playing friends a drink, the wine carafe in the middle of their table is almost empty. Jeremy sits down, and Weldon then proceeds to pour him a glass from a suddenly magically filled wine carafe.

Weldon Parish: The sun sets, slowly, igniting the sky in fiery shades of red and orange. In the distance, dark clouds rolled over the horizon, riding the summer winds. Soon they would give way to night. And with it would come the silence that washes over everything.
