Not since "Y Tu Mamá También" has a movie so palpably captured the down-to-earth, flesh-and-blood reality of high-spirited people living their lives without self-consciousness.

It's slight but in a haunting way, like a half-remembered dream.

For all Golino's comeliness, she's upstaged by the windy beauty of the landscape, and by Crialese's attention -- in an Italian neorealist way -- to the routines of daily life in an insular, traditional culture.

On its own terms, the movie succeeds. Like a fable, its meanings are unspecific but haunting.

The movie's pleasures draw on old-fashioned Italian neo-realist simplicity.

The film's generous spirit, disarming mixture of beauty and brutality, and gentle, insistent sweep make it easy to surrender to it anyway.

As a whole, the film is perhaps a bit too gentle and meandering, but it's jammed full of superb moments.

The authenticity of its setting and its actors make this effort worth a look.

Has a sexy cast and is gorgeous to watch -- but it takes more than that to make a movie worth seeking out.

Its long-winded denouement, in which Grazia runs away rather than be sent to an institution, doesn't bring the story full circle. It just extends it.
