Last weekend my wife and I watched the movie My House in Umbria starring Maggie Smith. On reflection I feel it is one of the best movies I have watched in the past year or so. There is a richness to the scenery and cinematography that enhances the wonderful acting. To me the movie highlights:
our universal need for forgiveness and redemption, whatever our past
our past history has a significant influence on how we feel and act today
our frail humanity
our desperate hunger for and need for relationship
the (partial) healing power of time, rest, nature, companionship, and food
