David di Donatello Award Winners

The prize for the best Italian film(s) of the year. Though there have only been two "ties" since the category's 1980 hiatus - "E La Nave Va" and "Le Bal"/"Ballando Ballando" (1983), and "Mediterraneo" and "Verso Sera" (1991) - prior to that year it was not uncommon for two to three films to be honoured per year.

Chronological back to 1970, some movies aren't on Flixster yet so this will be updated as titles become available.

Running count: 2/45.

Bread and Tulips
Beware this film if you make your own wine, because there may be no better movie to sit down in front of with a partner and a fresh bottle. The real trouble is that it's such a delight to watch, you could do it again and again and again.

Without summarizing too much, Rosalba deserts her family and teaches them a lesson by disappearing to Venice for an extended period of time after a less-than-enjoyable family vacation. In Venice she discovers herself and la Dolce Vita, making new friends but still feeling the bittersweet pull back home, all the while farcically evading the "private detective" sent after her by her husband. A great escape, witty and beautiful, this film won a pile of Donatello awards (Italy's equivalent to the Oscars), and it's light-hearted without being brainless. Che buon film!
