a waste of talent

I found this film to be incredibly irritating. The film, adapted from a play, has not been translated to the screen well at all. We are stuck inside one room for the entire duration of the film, listening to the irritating bickering of an elderly couple and their sheltered son.Gardner's acting is ridiculously over the top, reciting one shrill speech after another. I bought the film because Anna Karina played the role of Regina but was greatly disappointed. I found it unbelievable that despite being in almost the entire film she had only ONE line right at the end. Despite the potential with three great actors, their talents are entirely wasted.

Gardner's final big screen film.

"Regina Roma" is a film which looks much like a play, as the entirety of the story takes place in a home...and mostly in the living room. It also has a small cast of four and in style it sure looks like "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?". It also seems like it as well, as during the course of the story, you see just how screwed up these four people are...and it's pretty painful to watch (which is why I am not a fan of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"). But before the pain sets in, the film is quite slow...so much so I had a hard time sticking with it...and it then morphed into the Christmas from Hell!This film marks the final big screen appearance by Ava Gardner. Her co-star is Anthony Quinn. Both are good with what they are given. But the script is slow, depressing and claustrophobia-inducing. In other words, it's NOT a pleasant movie to watch.
