Another classic Italian film

Acting and story brilliantly done. Very interesting plot, captures your attention and keeps you focused throughout the story. Highly recommended. Too bad American film industry cannot even come close to making good films anymore.

Sentimental Horse Exhaust!!!

Phew...how did the Taviani brothers pull this one off? Well it does have pretty clothes, handsome actors & lovely surroundings. Kind of a Vogue/Réalités ambiance. But the corny sentimental, romantic & very SILLY family legend, good grief! This is the Italian equivalent of one of those 1970s Jane Seymour TV-movie bodice-rippers.

Yuccchh!

Fiorile provides a very entertaining and thought provoking story for any viewer whether he be a casual movie goer wanting to be entertained, or a critic looking for a different perspective on human nature and the way he interacts with the rest of society.

Fiolrile follows several generations of a family cursed because of the greedy deeds of some of its early members. But are the following generations truly cursed by a superior being, or are they simply living out their lives equal to their perceived "cursed" potential? In a broader sense, do individuals live lives according to their perceived value and therefore fulfill expectations for good or for bad, or are individuals limited by their potential no matter how hard they try to break a mold that others have cast for them?

An intelligent, well-made film. I loved it.

Fiorile was a captivating film showing the enchanting scenery of Italy. The plot is complex and wil demand you to submit your entire attention to follow. The dialogue between the actors is poetic and beautiful. The film journeys from the Napoleanic era to present times showing the tragedies that plague a family. A film worth seeing repeatedly...
