For melancholics only


Have you ever thought that you could fly and touch the sky? Have you ever felt that unbounded joy that is called love? This is what Nello feels for Angela. "Il Cuore Altrove" it's a tender and cruel love story that takes place in Bologna, Italy in the early 1920. The disarming naivete of Nello, and the aching last sequences are extremely touching. The movie ends with Nello singing out load in the streets because it's better to be hurted because we loved that not having loved at all...Is there someone who loved you infinitely and you did not love back in the same way? This and other nostalgic thoughts are wandering about my head tonight...
