    I Am Love

    Reviewed by

    This is a film that was short listed for the Oscars as Best Foreign film and should have been one of the 5 finalists. At least two that were nominated are very 'iffy' though Canada's nomination for Best Foreign film INCENDIES is so very well deserved. I just had a feeling when it became Canada's original entry into the Oscar race that it was going to make it. It's a superlative film that did REALLY well at the Cannes Film festival last May. I am love... or Io sono l'Amore was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Foreign Film so they don't by any means do everything wrong. In fact all of the Best Acting Nominations at the Globes are 99% the same as the Oscar nominations so people should stop blasting the Golden Globes though they do make some totally ridiculous nominations. But it's their perogative to do so. I am love ( Io sono lAmore ) like last years Italian Gomorha, which also didn't get an Oscar nomination though it wound up as one of the final nine, shows the Academy is avoiding French and Italian films to get some other nations into that category. NOT FAIR! It's so political... and film should not be that. It must be judged on its own merit. You can read the summary of I am love. It is a very outstanding film of a family situation that simply goes astry as so many things in life. I believe you will find it a revelation. It's really too bad these superb films can only be caught on a particular night or two while most of the Hollywood films in wide release are nothing but garbage. I am not referring to those that made the cut as Oscar contenders or those that just missed out. After all there are only five spots in most categories except the 10 for BEST film. Our society is simply content to see mindless junk while avoiding the truly great films that come out Europe. These films won't even be given wide distribution because the distributing companies know very few serious film people of all ages have an interest in good cinema. You won't catch me at all this 3-D rubbish and stupid, lame comedies, and the usual violent films Hollywood is known for... and I'm only 30. A waste of money and time. WHY not get more informed on what is worthwhile to see? On an interview some mindless people stated BURLESQUE was, according to them, the best film of the year. These inane people obviously must have a screw loose and are not dealing with a full set of cards. Their thinking ability is either average or below average, unable to think, only sitting in a theatre absorbing this "crap."
