I will be Malena :) For the information of everybody, Malena is played by Monica Bellucci. It is a smoldering beauty, the daughter of an elderly Latin teacher and wife to a man who has just gone off to fight for Mussolini. Men ogle her, women gossip about her, and all the adolescent boys fantasize about her. I wanna be like her....Simply because she's unique! To add, One of the most powerful elements of Malena is the music, by frequent Tornatore collaborator and legendary composer, Ennio Morricone. Combined with cinematographer Lajos Koltai's sweeping camera work and beautifully photographed vistas, the music gives Malena a glorious backdrop against which the story can unfold. This is not the writer/director's most accomplished feature but it offers a strong central character, an interesting historical subtext, and a coming-of-age narrative that most people will be able to relate to on one level or another.
