Film: Absolute masterpiece.

Trailer: Absolutely hysterical.

[ILoveGodzilla]

The voice-over narration, to me at least, is insanely funny.  And I enjoy this movie, don't get me wrong. The voice-over doesn't at all do it justice, and is just plain silly/funny. Anyone else agree?

[socoolio]

I hope the film is better than this trailer(ofcourse it will be), because I will be watching this soon.

[MrHanMi]

Isn't that the voice of Marvin Miller, who did a ton of voiceover work but who also starred as Michael Anthony on "The Millionaire"?

@ILoveGodzilla 100% agree. it seems to tell something like: it's cool even for american viewers, so watch it! :P

I wouldn't exactly use the word "excitement" to describe this movie New York Times. It's anything but "exciting." Although, it is probably my number one favorite movie.

[Del4Mar]

great trailer, but that commentary dude needs to shut the fuck up

[VelvetCat1]

Don't you guys think that Dominique Blanchar, the actress who plays Giulia, is identical to Miranda Richardson? Even their style in acting is pretty similar, i was really surprised the first time i watched L'avventura

[CrissCross779]

One of the most beautiful films ever made!

i miss these kinds of trailers. they tell you the "story" up front, without contaminating the plot or pacing.

this trailer is actually brilliant -- it highlights the themes of the movie but makes the movie seem completely different than what it actually is. The trailer makes it seem like an empty 'conventional' drama, and the movie itself is about the emptiness in the characters themselves and their dramas.
