Yeah, Days and Clouds is something kind of wonderful. That Margherita Buy... I have such a crush on her! I've never seen Bread and Tulips, though. I've heard that's supposed to be pretty good, too?
I love the dresses worn by the women, especially the lead character in Agata and the Storm. We American women should take a tip from them - they are so comfortable with being beautiful women that they don't have to try at all - which makes them all the more beautiful.
