Agatha and The Storm

 

aka: Agata e la tempesta
Italy 2004, 125 minutes
Dir. Silvio Soldini
In Italian with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Comedy

 

Aroview: Loosely woven tale of a middle-aged bookshop owner, who becomes embroiled in a surreal swirl of romance and family secrets of infidelity, her energy levels registering in bursts of electrical interference - causing lightbulbs, traffic lights, toasters and computers to spontaneously spark and malfunction.

The dir. of BREAD AND TULIPS extends his reach with a more populated and ambitious scenario, though his grasp of the 'magic realist' genre quavers at times. Still, this features a fine cast, some satisfying twists and an ethereal visual quality.
