Almost a love story.......2006-09-15

Luigi Lo Cascio and Sandra Ceccarelli won best actor and actress awards at the Venice Film Festival for their roles in this unusual story about two urban souls who find each other and then don't fall in love as conventional movie stories lead us to expect. What develops instead is a kind of friendship, as he patiently insinuates himself into her life and the life of her young daughter, then the life of a shady benefactor, with seemingly no ulterior motives than to connect to other people and ward off his loneliness. His only friends are the fellow drivers and his boss at an elite chauffeur service. She, on the other hand, is struggling to operate a frozen food store while attempting to maintain the good will of children's services social workers who are monitoring her worthiness as a mother.

His loneliness and isolation are characterized by the fictional hero of an earthling in a science fiction novel he is reading, who wanders the universe and puzzles over how beings might invade the bodies of others, while being unable to remember the past of the lives they have assumed. "You are too sentimental," the woman tells him when she rejects his affections. Meanwhile, as a driver and errand-runner, he becomes slowly involved in the trafficking of illegal workers, risking all the while the loss of his own job.

Told slowly and with unexpected turns, the story is a fascinating study of people you walk by on the street every day, their faces a study in hidden sorrows, fears and hopes. As an almost-love story, it achieves a kind of resolution between mismatched people without using romance to do it. In that way, it refuses to be escapist entertainment and illustrates more truthfully the human condition.
