Canzoni di Carmela (Carmela's Song)

As one of Ms. Caccioppoli's oldest fans, she has once again captured me with her masterfully crafted writing. I am most impressed that this was created from scratch within the 48 hour timeframe. Bravo one and all.

I'm not sure what most of you are on, but this is a poor attempt at capturing any significant, emotional resonance. The acting is stiff and way over the top, and the constant hammering of Puccini doesn't allow for any quiet moments of true reflection. Everybody here is shouting their lines and the cinematography is plagued with indecision. Really people, "haunting imagery?" " Fascinating?" "wonderfully acted?" Vera's writing is pure and honest but the handling of it is quite clumsy. ;(

I love this! It's a must see!

This six minutes of cinematographic excellence is replete with pathos and nuance; wonderfully scripted and acted and filmed with care and beauty.

Hi Vera!

Coming from Lillian and myself( Joey), we would like to tell you how wonderful the video is, and how much we both enjoyed it! We look forward to seeing more from you!

All the best,

Lillian and Joey

Fascinating short. Beautiful use of flashbacks and sensual cinemotography. The subtle yearnings of one man who is aware that he will never capture the elusive spirit of a contrite opera singer.

A poignant depiction of pleasures lost. Inner longings of past pleasures that can never be relived, touched, the breath of an I love on your ear.

And, as to a numerical rating, clearly a 10!

[suebschu]

Great creativity. A gripping view of the impact of aging in today's world.

[mswit3]

A brilliant short, combining both incredibly subtle acting, excellent cinematography, perfect writing, and the (to re-use a term other commenters have already, but is most apt) haunting imagery and music of Puccini.

Great performances!  Haunting story.

BRAVA!

[la1dolcevita]

I loved it.

The voice of the star was so rich, full of wisdom and life, and beauty.

Thank you.

[allawetta]

You made me cry Amy,

so touching.

I GIVE IT FIVE STARS*****

[snaggletruth]

Very cool indeed. Odd, quirky, and touching. Appreciate seeing an older woman in star role. Spooky ending!

[billewilder]

So real, and poignant. Subtle, but ending gave me goose bumps.
