Yesterday was another quiet day at the condo. In the evening I watched a DVD of the movie Heaven. I had no idea what it was, but it turns out to be a gem. It is an unusual movie that goes in surprising directions. The script was written by the Polish director who did the trilogy Red, White, and Blue, the colors of the French flag. It was the last thing he did before he died at the age of 54 in 1996. The only other name associated with the film that I was familiar with was Kate Blanchett. I have been watching a lot of her movies lately. To summarize, the script, the cast, the photography, and the directing were all very good. It was filmed in Italy and has a lot of Italian cast members, but the primary language is English. The pictures of Tuscany are especially beautiful. I highly recommend it and give it 5 stars.
