After many pleasant surprises in the recent old films I'd seen, this one was a real disappointment. Imagine the film Whiplash, but Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons fall in love. That's essentially this film. An American girl moves to Italy with hopes of becoming an opera singer. A firm and famous teacher takes her under his wing. After two years of growing to hate him and his harsh methods, she decides she's in love with him and he with her. There's not the slightest whiff of chemistry in any of it or in any other interactions in the film. I can only imagine it was nominated for the elaborate musical scenes throughout. This movie sucks.
18 to go...
