This man's answer to everything is a Julia Roberts movie.

unlabelledView post →I always think of Under the Tuscan Sun when I hear Czeslaw Milosz. This is near the end of the film. In an earlier scene, the lit prof is on a ladder working on a chandelier and Lane sees the book and holds it to her and says "Czeslaw Milosz...I like him" Lit prof doesn't seem impressed...

unlabelledView post →Not sure if I’ve seen just parts or whole movie, but Under the Tuscan Sun would be it for me here. How was The Annihilation of Fish? Not familiar with that.
unlabelledView post →One of my favorite movies is Under The Tuscan Sun with Diane Lane. I became obsessed w/ the movie when I first moved to Los Angeles because I saw myself in Frances. I would love to move to Tuscany or Positano and get a home.
unlabelledView post →Weirdly obsessed with this because the Italian way to say "to give birth to" is "dare alla luce". Which I learned from the greatest movie ever, Under the Tuscan Sun.
unlabelledView post →That's what I thought when I was watching the underappreciated 2003 Diane Lane movie, Under the Tuscan Sun.

unlabelledView post →Author Frances Mayes observed from her own life that "Unthinkably good things can happen, even late in the game. It's such a surprise." And if you haven't seen her 2003 movie "Under The Tuscan Sun," I can highly recommend it for lightening just such a mood as this. 💛
unlabelledView post →I *almost* want to rewatch it other than why would I do that to myself? lol Not that I’m some movie connoisseur like around the same time I was also getting Under the Tuscan Sun, Facing Windows, and Avenging Angelo from the library on DVD too 😹😅☠️

unlabelledView post →I was embarrassed, but I traveled with Italians do maybe that had something to do with it. I have friends all over the country. If you watch the film, “Under the Tuscan Sun” with Diana Ladd it happens in the film and she has the same reaction o had, but they are happy when it happens (locals).

unlabelledView post →Rereading Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes. Such a beautiful memoir! The movie they made that was supposedly based on the book wasn’t exactly terrible, but it was a completely, drastically different “animal” than the book. lol

unlabelledView post →One of the movies that I bought during chemotherapy was Under The Tuscan Sun. One movie that made me feel better and long to live in Italy. Also, FYI … it’s based on a non fiction book that you can check out at a local library. Frances took 4 summers renovating that villa.
unlabelledView post →Some planes had them on smaller screens throughout the cabin (like on a coach bus) and the worst seat was right underneath them—that one was too close, and the next one up was too far away. (Under the Tuscan Sun was the last movie I remember from this era.)
unlabelledView post →Interesting: 20th Century Fox rejected the original title (Star Wars: Episode II - Massacre of the Tusken Raiders) not because it sounded too dark but because of potential confusion with the then-forthcoming "Under the Tuscan Sun," a film so terrible it itself nearly inspired a massacre in Tuscany.
unlabelledView post →UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN (2003), dir. scrp. Audrey Wells Awesome movie! Gonna be honest though I kept feeling like Frances & Katherine should smooch Then I saw it's based on an actual autobiography lol ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
unlabelledView post →This movie is Under the Tuscan Sun but not as good and featuring men instead of Diane Lane. They even got Lindsay Duncan, who played Katherine in UTTS, to be Kate in this film. She was also given a better part in the former.
