Plot summary

Several lonely hearts in a semi-provincial suburb of a town in Denmark use a beginner's course in Italian as the platform to meet the romance of their lives. The film, which unspools the connections and family drama shared between the students, complies with several aesthetic principles of Dogme 95 movement.

Dogme 95 #12. Not my favorite Dogme 95

Dogme 95 #12. Not my favorite Dogme 95 film but worth a watch. Good cast and acting for a lightweight romance. Partially based on Maeve Binchy's Evening Class, the romantic comedy centres on a group of lonely individuals living in the Danish suburbs who take lessons in Italian in the hopes that they will also find love. Italian for Beginners won several accolades, including the Jury Grand Prix Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.

The cover of the video disc made me

The cover of the video disc made me think that this was going to be a lush, sexy tale of romance. Instead, it was a poorly-filmed, poorly-written, poorly-acted soap opera about a bunch of people in a Danish town who meet as a result of a little-attended Italian language class. This premise might have still worked if it were done right, but it looks like a home movie, and it seems the people who praise it are the ones who think any film that doesn't come from Hollywood is a great classic. It's not a classic, not even in a "so-bad-it's-good" sense. The plot is about a recently-widowed pastor hired for the town church to fill in for the regular one who has been suspended, and other major characters include a hairdresser with a dying mother, a bakery employee who keeps dropping things and who has an obnoxious dying father, an obnoxious and self-absorbed young restaurant manager, an Italian waitress who wants a husband, and other similarly clichéd characters who are neither developed nor likable. The story jumps from one scene to another, featuring a few mild laughs but no actual good parts. After two-thirds of the way I just gave up, deciding there would be no payoff. You cannot always judge a DVD by its cover, or by the fact that it is called a "classic". Beware of that term; you might be disappointed.
