Chief Chick Comments

This charming Danish movie is one of my all time favorites. It opened in only a few theaters, but deserves a wider audience. Ida who lives in Copenhagen with her cheating husband goes to Italy for her daughter's wedding to Philip's son. Ida is open and honest and is suffering from breast cancer. While she is done with the treatments, the doctors do not know yet whether the treatments were successful. She "bumps" into Philip literally. He is driven to run his business 24/7 and is very tough with his employess. He is a widower and Patrick is his only son who is to marry Ida's daughter. Much of the movie takes place on the beautiful coast of an Italian village in the now largely abandoned villa owned by Philip. As the wedding approaches, Philip begins to see the beauty in this woman who is bald, disfigured, but has the most beautiful manner about her...and the largest most beautiful blue eyes. In fact, if you like blue eyes, this is the movie for you! English with subtitles when needed.

I agree! Just watched this movie and LOVED it! A Cinderella story for those of us of a certain age. Bravo to Pierce Brosnan for taking roles in smaller, indie films; hope you've all seen "The Matador"!
