Bread and Tulips

This afternoon I watched a very special Italian movie, Bread and Tulips, about a bourgeois woman on bus tour vacation who gets left behind at a truck stop. Rather than reuniting with them immediately, she ends up hitchhiking to Venice where she fashions a sort of life for herself amongst a group of quirky characters.

The movie is visually delightful, and full of special moments and a lingering sweetness. The main character is irresistibly charming.
