My opinion about the movie Bread and Tulips (1999)
(Edited)
Image
Italian-Swiss film, starring the Italian actress Licia Maglietta and the recently deceased Swiss actor Bruno Ganz (the one famous for the masterful interpretation of Hitler in "The Fall").
Without many pretensions I watched this film on DVD that I still had unopened (also to see if my now obsolete technology player still worked).
The story begins on a tour of several families through Roman ruins where Rosalba ( Lucia Maglietta) is accidentally left by her family (a choleric husband and two teenage sons) at a gas station.

Once they notice her absence, they ask the truck to return, but she decides to return to Pescara, where they live, indignantly hitchhiking, but ends up in Venice, a place she has always wanted to visit.
She spends the night there and the next day misses the train, at which point she decides to stay and begins a beautiful story of rediscovery and recovering some of the small pleasures of life, lost in a marriage consummated in early youth.
As to why bread and tulips, I read that perhaps it refers to a phrase from a speech by Rose Schneiderman, a famous feminist and leader of working women, who said "Souls, like bodies, can starve to death.

We want bread but we also want roses" changing the rose for the tulip, or perhaps it refers to the idyllic relationship between her and Fernando (Bruno Ganz) her lawyer landlord who every morning leaves her breakfast prepared with a good piece of bread and she does not forget to leave a bouquet of tulips on the table at night.
This film won awards in Italy for best film, best actress and best actor the year after its release, its slogan alone "Imagine a life, now go live it" should have convinced me to see it long before, recommended.

A simple and clear review of a beautiful film, which we were able to see at the time, with outstanding performances by the unforgettable Bruno Ganz (the one from "The Sky over Berlin"). Greetings, @ismaca.
