Storia di mia moglie

A movie about how movies should be done, wonderful piece of cinematography and art. No, I havent read the novel and I dont need to. Every man who really loved a woman beyond and above everything would perfectly understand this movie. The rest, just go watch superheroes flicks and dont judge.

Why do characters need to smoke so much? I get sick of it. These are the details that take away the pleasure of seeing something.

I liked it a lot, despite being so long. I thought the main actor was excellent, I didn't know him.

A loyal captain wonders if he made the right decision.

It's a story about the impermanence of relationships, temptation and betrayal, being punished for taking things for granted, depression, living in the present. Both actors were well cast.

After some of the bad reviews my expectations were low and I was surprised how did this movie struck me hard.

Maybe because the captain expresses so deeply what I felt in relationships. Not that I ever would propose to the first woman that would enter a door but the experience sometimes you get more than you bargained for and how you can't control how destructive love can be. To watch how the captain was struggling to articulate what he was feeling was intriguing.

The sadness and frustration of him never even getting close in the mind of his wife. Was she playing with hm and paying him back as a punishment for his bold proposal or did she deeply love him as much as he loved her? Did she get more than she bargained for as well by thinking she could play him? Will men ever understand women?

It's not a Hollywood movie with clever lines of communication and it's drawn out yes. But for me the atmosphere with the continuous tension kept me on my seat for the full 3 hours. Bach's largo from his 5th clavier concerto on the background exemplified the sadness and the longing. The cinematography was so beautiful.

The acting was stellar and a joy to watch. Other reviewers seem to have criticized the acting but they meant to criticize the characters with their clear flaws. Did they mix this up.

Just as the captain, I struggle to describe this movie and I can't explain why I was so drawn to it. I'm grateful Enyedi's courage bringing this out in the way she did. At least some people find this a master piece!

Great story, great acting, amazing cinematography and production design, for a wonderful and unique script that pulls on the heartstrings of everyone who has known love, strife and loss, and who is able to notice a great piece of art when they see it.

This is an amazing tale, one that might be criticised for being too far-fetched, but nevertheless is very close to the real lives of many people. Granted: this is not for everyone. Not everyone will appreciate the trials and tribulations of this captain, or the tribulations and restlessness of the young, wild, curious and intelligent wife... but I assure you all that this is what art is made of: past experience combined with grief and imagination, congealed in a (art) piece with the aid of top craftsmanship from all the participants in the production of this move.

An amazing cast, delivering an amazing performance, enhanced by top-notch work from all other parties involved. This is now one of my favorite movies of all time.

Special credit has to be handed to Lèa Seydoux, who is absolutely brilliant in her flawless performance.

She is not only a ravishing beauty: she has always proved to be an amazing actress, even in the most barren roles in the most mind-numbing action movies (e.g., 007) and in this one she shows the ability to delivery a performance that is finely-grained with all the nuance of this very complex character.
