Herbatka z Mussolinim
Directed by Franco Zeffirelli
Akcja toczy się we Florencji, w czasie dyktatury Mussoliniego. Mary, Angielka w średnim wieku, postanawia przygarnąć siedmioletniego chłopca, który stracił matkę. W jego wychowaniu pomagają jej przyjaciółki: lady Hester, wdowa po byłym ambasadorze Wielkiej Brytanii, nieco zwariowana śpiewaczka Arabella, trzy niestrudzone opiekunki bezpańskich kotów, Molly, Usula i Edith, oraz dziennikarka Connie. Mimo szykan ze strony faszystów żadna z nich nie traci pogody ducha i klasy, właściwej angielskim damom.
Where to Watch Herbatka z Mussolinim
- ርልዪረ30 grudnia 2025This film is directed and co-authored by Franco Zeffirelli, and I couldn't resist speculating on how much of it was actually true, since it is said to be based on Zeffirelli's autobiography. However, true in part, true completely, in the end it doesn't really matter. What matters is the amazing ensemble acting by Maggie Smith, Cher, Joan Plowwright, Judi Dench and Lily Tomlin (listing them in the order of significance to the story) and the stunning beauty of Florence where the film is set. The director and photographer plainly love the city, matching the love for it of the characters. Maggie Smith as the widow of a former British ambassador, the character that actually has tea with Mussolini, is the dominant figure in the film. However, Cher, playing a wealthy American -- vulgar in the eyes of he British ladies -- who turns out to be a complex, philanthropic Jew who must be smuggled out of the country in the end; Joan Plowwright as a kind lady who takes in the bastard son of an Italian businessman and teaches him to be an English gentleman; Judi Dench as an eccentric artist whose passion is to preserve a renaissance fresco from the Nazis during the war, and Lily Tomlin as a lesbian American archaeologist all deliver sterling performances. Cher's performance is the most amazing -- she holds her own in formidable company -- but one expects, of course, to be dazzled by Maggie Smith, Joan Plowwright, Judi Dench and even by Lily Tomlin. It's a sentimental, even melodramatic, tale, but see it for the ensemble acting. I can't think of another film that equals Tea with Mussolini in that respect.
