Editorial Review: Description: Based on the acclaimed novel by William Trevor, My House in Umbria is a charming, evocative drama about a group of travelers in Italy who find solace and friendship after being thrown together by tragedy. Amazon.com: Falling neatly into the Enchanted April and Under the Tuscan Sun category, the made-for-HBO My House in Umbria boasts lovely Italian vistas and comforting Englishness. But it begins with a note of violence: on a train rolling through the sunny countryside, a terrorist bomb detonates, killing a handful of passengers. The strangers that survive recuperate at the villa of an eccentric but kindly romance novelist, also a survivor of the blast. She's played by Maggie Smith, who bustles through the role with a pleasing mix of gin and daffodils. Chris Cooper is an uptight American who comes to the villa to pick up his orphaned niece and bristles at the bohemian atmosphere. Director Richard Loncraine maintains the melancholy mood amidst the sun-dappled gardens of Umbria, but Smith really holds the film together with her authority and slightly tipsy humor. --Robert Horton Average Rating:

Most of the people in the train car Mrs. D is with end up injured and once released from the hospital there is a ongoing investigation and they have nowhere to go, so they all go to recoup at the BEAUTIFUL Italian mansion of Mrs. D.

Rating: - I need a ticket to ItalyI am a fan of Maggie Smith and this movie really showed her talent. Her clothes in this movie were fabulous! The story of the train explosion and how she took in the survivors and the family that developed out of it was just lovely. Her care for the orphaned girl was so delicate and so sad at the same time. The scenery in the movie is wonderful, as well, and makes you want to get your passport out. I liked the happy ending the best, when all are reunited. |
