What The Garden of the Finzi-Continis Is About
In Ferrara, a wealthy Jewish family lives inside a garden enclosed by high walls. When the fascist race laws come in and Jews are expelled from the clubs, the young people come to this garden to play tennis, and for a long time what is happening outside stays outside the wall. Vittorio De Sica adapted Giorgio Bassani's novel. There is a love story at the centre, and what the film is actually about is how thin the protection of privilege turns out to be: the family believes until the last moment that nothing will happen to them. The round-up at the end is played without any music. It won the Oscar for best foreign language film. Who it is for: viewers who like Italian cinema and drama that shows the fascist period from inside. Who it is not for: anyone wanting pace, since much of this takes place only in the garden.
