Il ciclone

Ahh yes...a very sweet love story set in the most beautiful sleepy town in Italy.The cast are wonderful to watch as they go about there trouble free life's.An innocent kind of love comes through in this film.....don't expect Hollywood to produce such pure pleasure....they still don't get it!It's great to see fresh natural beauty especially in the most beautiful Lorena Forteza...she comes across in a way that everyone can relate to.

For a light hearted comedy with a twist of innocents,you cant go past this one.

Enjoy

Levante Guarini (Leonardo Pieraccioni, also director) lives in a sleepy town in Italy, where nothing ever happens.Then one day a bus with six beautiful flamenco dancers from Spain arrive and nothing is the same.Il Ciclone from 1996 is a terribly funny Italian comedy.I found myself laughing at loud more than once.I watched it in the Italian class with a group of other students on Monday last week and I noticed I wasn't the only one laughing.Some of the moments that made me laugh were the awkward moments Levante had with his love interest Caterina (Lorena Forteza).Also the language barrier between the Italians and the Spanish offers some funny moments.This movie is a gem of European cinema.The Italians got it.You just watch this film and you'll come to the same conclusion; the Italians got it.

i barely speak Italian-only level 1 or 2 at best, plus a little slang, and didn't have subtitles when i watched this film. i found it incredibly easy to understand and laugh-out-loud funny. Films very rarely make me laugh out loud, but i had a huge smile on my face and frequently laughed throughout this film. it's mostly more adult humor, with sexual jokes and gestures, though nowhere near as filthy as American sex comedies like American pie. The love story is a bit cheesy, with the leading lady Catalina always wearing shirts that revealed her cleavage and shorts that.. well, revealed her cleavage. however, there's enough comedy to distract you-from the morbid, artistic brother, to the lesbian sister, to the father who becomes a stoner. great film, recommend to everyone.

i'd give it a 10, but i never give out 10s.

When I saw this movie I wasn't prepared for such a treat. I thought it was kind of O.K, but I truly enjoyed it! The characters are charming and funny. The feel of the movie is that of "real life". Plus you get a glimpse of the breathtaking Italian countryside.

I'm not the kind of love film guy, but I enjoyed this movie very much. I haven't seen an Italian film since long and it impressed me by its typical latin feeling, live passion and even humour. And I'm very happy that I found in this movie a song that I've been looking for since many years but I didn't know it's name.
