 Loved this film. January 2, 2002

Filmed in the "real" Venice, this tale is a delightful blend of humor, music and charismatic cast - with a starring lead lady whose every move is exquisitely sensual. You will leave the theatre smiling with a song in your heart.

This is the best foreign film I have seen this year. I found it beautiful and heartwarming. It left me with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. The filming is beautiful and the acting is flawless. It is a "must have" for my movie collection, and now Venice is a "must see" for me. I could leave behind my "everyday life" for love and adventure in Venice. I am so happy that Rosalba did, she gives a lot of hope for those of us who are under-appreciated and verbally abused by our spouses and children -- even if in the real world we can only escape for a short time in movies.
Story full of charm! May 20, 2002

This was such an unexpected find! This is the story of a housewife who has the opportunity to look at her life and really see what she wants to do with the rest of it. Many have told this story with variations but not all have achieved the charm and style this film does. I would like to see this one get more attention!
 Nice, light and enjoyable Italian romantic comedy June 17, 2002

Bread and Tulips is a nice romantic comedy set in Venice. The story of a middle-class Italian housewife from Abruzzi who- on a whim- goes to Venice for an unscheduled vacation. There she finds herself enjoying life for what may be the first time in years. The supporting cast is great, but the real star is Licia Maglietta who plays the housewife- Rosalba. Her portrayal is charming, comedic and on the mark. I can't imagine anyone not being enamored of her performance and likeability. Bread and Tulips is a nice, light Italian comedy.
Venice...and Maglietta & Ganz...never looked so good November 10, 2003

Venice never looked so good as it does here in Silvio Soldini's "Bread and Tulips." While the title loses a little something in the translation (in Italian, it's the cute and somewhat alliterative "Pane e Tulipani"), the slowly developing relationship between leads Licia Maglietta ("Rosalba") and Bruno Ganz ("Fernando") does not. Despite the fact that the former starts out as a repressed, fed-up housewife and the latter as a brink-of-suicide waiter, the relationship is coaxed along so carefully and realistically by Soldini that it never feels fake or forced. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Maglietta is a breathtakingly vivacious (at the time) 46-year-old and the then-59-year-old Ganz is cut from the Terence Stamp school of on-screen magnetism. Reading English subtitles has never been so effortless as it is here. The lyrical Italian sounds like a wonderfully comforting soundtrack. Don't waste this movie watching it alone. This is a great way to spend two hours with your significant other.
