Who could forget their spicy and sexy comedies Marriage Italian Style or Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow? Or their sublime but difficult and depressing Sunflower? A Special Day is humane, sensitive and presents a similar political scheme with the novel Mrs. Dalloway: that one day, that one brie... read more

"Turhautunutta kotiäitiä esittävä, meikitön Sophia Loren ja turhautunutta homoseksuaalia esittävä - myöskin meikitön - Marcello Mastroianni kohtaavat sattumalta fasistisessa Italiassa, päivänä, jolloin kaikki muut ovat Adolfin ja Beniton bileissä. Itsemurhaa hautova Mastroianni yllättyy Lorenin viattomista lähestymisestä, johon hän vastaa samoin. Paitsi Loren tulkitsee miehen - kenen tahansa miehen - positiivisen huomion seksuaalisena lähestymisenä. Molemmat ymmärtävät tois"

A Special Day

“Anytime I see the names Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni together in a movie I always get high hopes. Who could forget their spicy and sexy comedies Marriage Italian Style or Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow? Or their sublime but difficult and depressing Sunflower? A Special Day is humane, sensitive and presents a similar political scheme with the novel Mrs. Dalloway: that one day, that one brief encounter can profoundly change your life and open your world. They also share the common thread of a housewife going about her normal business before tiny tremors in her life present the facts and details that have always been in front of her in sharp detail.
