    A very moving film that doesn't seem to be so well known. Only very few reviews on flixster and absolutely none from my friends. Definitely time for me to make a recommendation.

    I watched this for Forlani and Keitel but nothin can save this film from painful mediocrity.

    At the start, the movie Shadow Dancer opened with a young guy played by Joshua Jackson getting ready to go to work in busy London. Then the movie progressed to Italy and when Claire Forlani popped up with her sexy eyes in the movie, it became more interesting. I liked her acting...( read more) from Meet Joe Black. Harvey Keitel played a burned out famous writer who did not want to see any publishers. Joshua Jackson task was to visit Keitel and see if he could make him write again and signed up a contract with him. There was lots of comedy and great scenes in Tuscany Italy, and all the actors were outstanding. The romance was charming, however, they could have put just a little more romance to it. I missed that.

    Slow moving yet charming story of a young book editor (dreamy Joshua Jackson who gives a very good and believable performance) who travels to Italy to sign a popular writer of 20 yrs prior (Harvey Keitel - who is nothing short of marvelous) with hopes that he will write again and...( read more) along the way falls in love with his daughter and examines his own life and dreams. Nothing very new but never-the-less this was still an enjoyable film with likable characters.

    There are some great characters in this movie and a fairly good story too. Don't judge by the "plot" that comes up when you move your cursor over the cover. It's a much bigger movie than that. And some stuff to think about afterword; that's always a good sign.

    A romance that as some good actors in seems interesting.
