Tea With Mussolini (1999)

Release Date : May 14, 1999
Rating : PG
Distributor : Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Duration : 1 hr. 57 min.

Overwiew :Taken from a chapter in the autobiography of acclaimed filmmaker Franco Zeffirelli, TEA WITH MUSSOLINI is written by British novelist and playwright John Mortimer and Zeffirelli, drawing on the latter's published memoirs. The film tells of Luca Innocenti (born out of wedlock and not officially recognized by his father) and his struggle to assert his independence and find his way into a life of art. The coming-of-age tale is also a haunting evocation of a vanished world: that of the quiet city of Florence on the brink of World War II. Judi Dench, Joan Plowright and Maggie Smith portray the eccentric, colorful and strong-willed ladies - called the 'Scorpioni' for their biting wit - who, along with a free-spirited American art collector (Cher) and archeologist (Lily Tomlin), raise the youth and fashion him, though Italian, into 'a perfect British gentleman.'

Starring : Cher, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright, Maggie Smith, Lily Tomlin

Directors : Franco Zeffirelli

Producers : Frederico Muller


  Critic Reviews  Grade
movie-reviews.colossus.net - : Alongside Kenneth Branagh, Franco Zeffirelli may be the best-known living film director of Shakespeare. His screen versions of the Bard's works include The Taming of the Shrew (with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor), Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet. On the same weekend that a new interpretation of A Midsummer Night's Dream comes to North American theaters, Zeffirelli's latest, Tea with Mussolini, will also open, albeit with less fanfare. Yet, for the 76-year old film maker, this may be the most personally meaningful movie he has made during his lengthy career because the events related herein are based on real-life moments from his childhood.  more...
