Slowly their two lives become unalterably intertwined as she becomes infatuated with his work and loses sight of where his life ends and hers begins.

What Independant films are all about!
By V. Nocito
This is a fantastic film! The story, cinematography and scenery are mesmerizing and inspiring. Starts out seeming to be a reasonably unimpressive story, but then blossoms into a masterpiece. I was so taken with this movie that I went out and purchased “The Story of San Michele,” the book which is a central share of the film’s plot. Loved the book too! This movie may serve as an entry point for younger generations to learn regarding Axel Munthe and “The Story of San Michele,” – which is rather a comeback for a 60 year old book.

It’s short; you have to watch it more than once
By H. Miller
This film is so amazingly beauteous and likewise so rich. It weaves not just dissimilar film stocks- 16mm and Super 8mm (maybe likewise 35mm?), but galore dissimilar localized narratives. The biographical history of Axel Munthe, the phenomenological exploration of light and architecture, likewise the omniscient autobiography of the conductor Pola Rapaport, and the fictional sub-plot of the reputation played by Edie Falco- all weave together in an awful way.
I would compare it is form to Agnes Varda’s The Gleaners and I (also The Beaches of Agnes) and to Gabbeh from Mohsen Makhmalbaf.
I confess that i didn’t like it so much the introductory time i saw it. The fictional Edie Falco share got on my nerves, but looking at the director’s commentary and then observing the film again made me be grateful for it a thousand times more. The commentary is great to listen to for hopeful experimental documentary filmmakers.

very disappointed
By cassandra
after reading the famous book by Axel Munthe , which we loved . i decisive to buy this film hoping to learn more when it comes to him and his time expended on Capri. This film is more regarding an American journalist who goes to visit San Michele , little is learned regarding the doctor . It is short and the woman narrating is meloncholy and closely demoralizing , the picture in places is grainy and looks like it was copied from a video. Cant understand the other review of 5 stars , the resolving element for buying. The only good point in this film/documentary is your given a tour of the villa , tho no mention is given to the widely known and esteemed internet site it was built on.
