When someone writes a song, poem or a story about you that's when you know you've met someone really really special. It's a special movie for me cause i found some answers i've been looking for and to all the people who loved the mystery of finding someone who is just meant for you and you alone. Writers knew exactly what they were doing with story with not being predictable and cliche about romance. To simply say movie is about poetry and music, and if that ain't romance itself I don't know what is. Life's questions must be answered with life itself. I wish to revisit this movie in a year or two and see how it's been aged so here's "To now, the memory of tomorrow".
PS : Not many people will read this review but if you do, go find some more movies like this. Here's some of mine favourite ones - Frank, Submarine, Shithouse.

I watched this movie on a flight and the story was so sweet, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Definitely heartwarming. The lead actors are so endearing and carry this sweet tale beautifully. The characters they play are as intriguing as the amazing setting, the writing just as wonderful as the pasta looks, and you can tell the director put his heart and soul into this cinematic piece of art.
I am craving a big dish of pasta -- with a side of an intriguing/inspiring conversation with a fellow artist -- right now, as I reflect on this beautiful film. If you're looking to have a nice, relaxing, romantic movie night, I recommend this "A Chance Encounter"; I also recommend cooking some pasta, snuggling with your loved one, and being ready for your heart to flutter with joy from start to finish.

I was a little surprised by this film. I got to see it early and fell in love with the characters, the music and the scenery. This is a very low budget movie, but it was done very artistically. The main character. Hal runs into josie a one hit musician looking to find the inspiration for a second hit song. Hal is a poet that wants to find his voice on the page. The two decide to explore the Italian town of. Taormina together and they find a spark that helps their careers. I had never heard of either actors. The one great thing about the movie was introducing me to. Andrea von Kampen. Her music is great so check out her videos. The other thing about this movie is the scenery and if you were an artist you could paint a hundred great paintings from the scenery. The movie felt very honest and moved easily down the Italian streets. Try it I think you will be surprised.
My wife and I really loved this small lovely movie. The music, the poetry, the acting, the scenery. Pulls at the heartstrings. So nice to see a love begin in friendship and emotional/intellectual connection rather than sex. Some of the professional reviewers who gave it so-so ratings don't get it. Had to watch it a second time to catch more details and be certain of the ending. Thanks to those who created this. PS It only added to my pleasure, after reading about the movie, to learn that the key actors/producers were originally from Nebraska and became friends at the U if Nebraska. I was born and grew up in Nebraska before moving for college and my career. Perhaps it's a Nebraska thing. :)
I enjoyed the movie, a young man lands in the beautiful town of Taormina Italy and compliments a young lady on her music as she plays guitar and sings with a beautiful backdrop. He is a writer of poetry, she is a singer songwriter. They are both looking for inspiration, they both have secrets. They relate easy and well. Complications are looming. They are both enriched by each other. The end leads you to wonder or write your own conclusion, but there is a good hint. Not full of bad language, instead, good songs, and poetry, and chemistry. Both new actors, Paul Peterson is co-writer of the movie and lead actor. Andrea Von Kampen is the lead actress and is in fact a singer / songwriter introduced in this movie. I looked her up online and am now enjoying her music!
