    Look at the poster. It's beautiful. Now imagine 1 and a half hours of a similarly beautiful film. The cinematography captures such wonderful landscapes and settings, with perfect lighting, that it's easy to forget there is a story to tell. The story itself is an intricately woven...( read more) masterpiece, that seems familiar but feels different. This is probably due to Molaioli capturing the slow, quiet nature of his small town setting. The twist here, is at the beginning of the film, and it's a good one. Servillo is one of the finest actors today. He is almost as good here as he was in Consequences of Love. His police commissioner trying to deal with the case and his wife, whom has Alzheimer's. The majority is in daylight, making it stand out and take real advantage of the fantastic greens in the area. The soundtrack is also simple but heart shattering. The simple notes creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

    Andrea Molaioli ha vinto, grazie a "La Ragazza Del Lago" il Nastro d'Argento come miglior regista esordiente. Condivido, ritenendolo una promesa di belle speranze.

    A very good, atmospheric thriller, where the slow pace of a mountain community hides an intricate network of relationships to be revealed. Great all actors, but Toni Servillo is truly a GOD! If you liked "The Pledge" by Sean Penn, this film has much in common with it.
