Malena
Original title: Malèna
Recommended3/4 · Good. I would recommend it, with the caveats in the review.
Drama around a young boy who is infatuated with a beautiful woman during WWII, and how the town hates her for being the most beautiful. One of the best movies about how communities can be cruel and petty.

What it's about
12-year-old Renato experiences three significant events on the same day: the beginning of the Second World War, getting a bike, and witnessing the arrival of the gorgeous Malèna. Through his eyes, we see the curse of beauty and loneliness of Malena, whose husband is presumed dead, and, through his soul, we see his love for her.
