Any film w/Firenze as its location, immediately gets my attention, and Noble Earth did not disappoint me. Nothing over the top, but the dreamy Tuscan city is shown in the same dream-like images I remember experiencing when I spent a summer there back in '92, so I really enjoyed revisiting the streets and the few iconic Florentine views the film shows the viewer. Noble Earth does not have a strong plot, but it does provide a very intimate glimpse of the day-to-day life of Italy's modern day privileged elite "has-beens." It also successfully portrays the (bad) impression that such elitist has-beens (in denial) often give outsiders, such as the film's lead character, who stumbled upon this family's oldest son and swiftly becomes his fiancee. She enjoys a small taste of La Dolce Vita w/them, but as the film winds down, reality starts to peek through, leaving her to choose between playing along w/the false pretenses of this family and its circle of friends, or being true to herself.

A lot of pointless wondering. good for mediation or if you want something blissful to fall asleep to. not good for entertainment or plot development.

Wonderful acting, cinematography, and overall feeling. Very relatable.
