ires are basically fired pastry with chocolate cream on the inside....and I'm not talking a few teaspoons either, I'm talking a huge ball of thick beautiful chocolate!!!! If you go to an Italian pastry store.make sure the cooks are sicilian.... as this is sicilian food
BTW, each time I've watched cinema paradiso (directors cut), i have gotten "watery eyes", and yes, I am a snag, my gf reminds me constantly.....hahahahaahahaha....but in all honesty, good acting, good story and good characters all should have emotional impact, its what film should do. Jack frusciante does not create any emotional reaction, and all in all, its a bad movie. The music also put me off (even though my cd collection consists of punk rock, rock, rap, acid jazz, lounge funk, latin, rap, harnd nrg, dance). If they wanted to do a movie that wanted to reflect growing up, they could have chosen something like Malena which is much more light-hearted and has many other key areas onto which students can easily extrapalate. If any of you want to see QUALITY italian films, I suggest you hire out Cinema Paradiso and Malena, both directed by Giuseppe Tornatore.
IMO, la vita e bella was way too overrated....... yes, it is a very good movie, but it didn't have that much impact on me. The director of la vita e bella went off to make Pinochio, it was a flop.
