'But why can’t life be a Bertolucci film?'*

This article about the Italian cinema reminded me that some time ago I bought a DVD with Ieri, oggi, domani of De Sica and actually have never watched it (typical of me). So we put it on recently and simply loved it! Loren and Mastroianni must have had lots of fun playing their diverse roles in three novels set in Naples, Milan and Rome. Which do I like the most? All are great. 
So I went to Piazza Navona to check out the terrace where Sophia was flirting with a young priest-to-be. Here it is:

And do you remember this? So good that Altman managed to repeat the scene. 

* read the article and you will understand why. I mean you understand why that question, not why life can't be a Bertolucci film. 
** I have to say it here: I LOVE 'Stealing Beauty'. Innocent Liv Tyler, Portishead and Nina Simone, clothes, Jeremy Irons, that villa and that party. I simply love everything about that movie.
