Manuale d'Amore

Was suppose to catch the new Almodovar movie “Volver” but it was sold out when we got there so we ended up watching an Italian comedy “Manuale d’Amore” (Handbooks of Love). A warm, cute little film with beautiful sound of Italiano.

El flechazo, la crisis, la traición, y la abandono (Infatuation, crisis, betrayal, and abandonment)--it tells the story of love through four vignettes. Couldn’t help pondering what people want from love..think we all want to stay in the phase of infatuation, the most beautiful, romantic, butterfly and happy-ever-after, but life is a bitch comes with a full, mixed package with bitter & sweet, happiness & sorrow, joy & pain—es la vida, a double-edged sword that one can only truly appreciate one edge when having experienced the other, no?
