THE MANUAL OF LOVE

So Manual of Love was...Italian. It told a number of stories about
love in its different forms. Breaking up, abandonment etc. It began
with young love, the best kind. It used a number of Italian visual and
character cliche`s but thats what we went for. We ('we' as an
Australian audience) wanted to see an 'Italian' film. And so did all
the quite vocal Australian Italian audience. When you hear someone
completely involved and taken by the film you tend to appreciate it
more (I know whenever I cry at a film people tend to remember it) or
you think that the person is a dickhead for liking it. But it was the
former rather than the latter for me last movie club.

In a shorter version of the review...I cried at the end so film did
something right.
