Love, Rossini Style, January 29, 2000
This review is from: Amore [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Two related vignettes which deliberate on the nature of human love and emotional attachment, both starring Magnani in the key role. In 'The Miracle,' a suggestible, innocent young mother-to-be deeply believes that her child was divinely conceived. A woman adjusts to her newfound solitude after her lover leaves in 'The Human Voice,' based on the one-act play by Jean Cocteau. The film is an homage to the great Anna Magnani, Roberto Rossellini's two-part film features the Italian actress in Cocteau's one-act play "The Human Voice," in which she speaks to an unseen lover on the phone, and the controversial "The Miracle," which casts her as a peasant who believes she has given birth to the new Messiah.
