Besides the beautiful scenery, my favorite part of the Oscar winning film of the past, Mediterraneo, (a charming film about a group of Italian soldiers stranded on a beautiful Greek isle during World War II) is this quote
“Life isn’t enough. One life isn’t enough for me. There aren’t enough days. Too many things to do, too many ideas. Every sunset upsets me because another day has gone by”.
Nicola LoRusso ( Diego Abatantuono-one of my favorite Italian actors)
If you have not enjoyed this film directed by one of my favorite Directors- Gabriele Salvatores- here is a quick snippet:
