About
"Dolce Far Niente" is a subtly, rigorously written film that takes us back to Stendhal's literary Italy. I'm pleased to discover it conveys the same pleasure I had when reading not only Frédéric Vitoux's "La Comédie de Terracina" but also Henry Beyle's Italian stories with their heroines, their architecture, their music. "Dolce Far Niente" is a paean to Italian beauty as imagined by the French."
(Antoine de Clermont-Tonnerre, Producer)
