Overview
Laura and John, grieved by a terrible loss, meet in Venice, where John is in charge of the restoration of a church, two mysterious sisters, one of whom gives them a message sent from the afterlife.
This is a great example of how much better movies are today. With the exception of the amazing The Conversation and a few others, I loathe the movies made in the 70’s. Everything from the pacing to the dialog to the music just really sucks in ways that I can’t put into words. I saw this film on Roger Ebert’s “best of” list so I thought it would be worth a look. It turns out that it is the prototypical 70’s movie. Hell, they couldn’t even get the sex scene right (several minutes of watching the two leads roll around). Without saying too much, there were two ways the movie could have gone and this movie went the really crappy way. What a waste of time.
