About this product
Product Information
Winner of nine David di Donatello Awards among numerous other international prizes, BREAD AND TULIPS is a charming romantic comedy from director Silvio Soldini. Licia Maglietta is simply magnificent as Rosalba, a fortyish married woman who is abandoned at a rest stop during a family bus trip. Suddenly feeling that something is missing from her life, she hitches her way toward Venice, calling her husband--bathroom fixture salesman, Mimmo--only occasionally to tell him that she is taking her own short vacation and that he will have to take care of the house and their two teenage sons. But a day or so stretches into a longer period of time as Rosalba finds herself making a new group of friends, getting a job, and beginning to care for an oddly appealing--and suicidal--waiter. The great Bruno Ganz is terrific as the fatalistic Icelandic waiter who speaks softly and carefully, stringing together multisyllabic, unusual words that often leave other characters scratching their heads while the audience laughs. The film features an outstanding supporting cast, including Felice Andreasi as an aging anarchist florist who likes to yell at customers, Giuseppe Battiston as a detective-story-reading plumber, Marina Massironi as a flippy holistic beautician masseuse, and Daniela Piperno as a wacky free spirit who changes Rosalba's life.Product Identifiers

Charming, touching and funny
Bread and Tulips is a look at the life of a middle aged married woman who has been taken for granted by her family to whom she has always been very devoted. Fate puts her in an unusual set of circumstances and she explores alternatives and develops friendships with people who appreciate her. The mood ranges from somewhat serious to extraordinarily funny. It is handled in such a way that it avoids being maudlin while still giving the viewer a look into the woman's emotionality and strength. Overall, it's a great bit of entertainment.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fun movie.
This movie was sweet and funny. Lovely music. I watched it 5 times the week I got it. It was very realistic, just regular folks doing regular things, but when the family leaves Mama behind on their trip it becomes not so regular. The detective was hilarious.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Misadventures and a little hope
A story about what happens when you miss the bus, and suddenly realize that you missed a little living, and yourself. This much ignored housewife finds herself left behind and having to fend for herself, chooses to miss that exit to home and finds herself on a spontaneous adventure to living. A sweet and endearing story of fate and destiny and being in the right place finally at the right time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
