Finding herself, 5 November 2004
Author:
jotix100 from New York
Myra Paci's film was in many ways, a surprise because it came
unexpectedly. For a young director, Ms. Paci, shows a lot of talent in
the way she has constructed the film and in the performances she gets
from her actors.The film presents the story of Gilda, a young woman getting over the
death of her father. At the same time, it's revealed, accidentally, her
father might have been involved with another woman. Her reaction is not
typical, as she decides to go away to her grandparents in New York as a
way to rebel against her mother. She also goes hoping to meet an actor
who she has been obsessed with.Getting to know this man proves to be a let down for Gilda. This young
woman feels betrayed by all the men she had loved and suddenly realizes
where she belongs and returns home to make peace with her mother, who
Gilda has blamed, in a way, for all that has gone wrong in her life.Susan May Pratt, is Gilda. Her performance seems effortless. Chris Noth
is perfect as the egotistical Michael De Santis, the well known actor
and the object of Gilda's love. Laila Robins, an extraordinary actress
who works in the New York theatre extensively, brings an intelligent
approach to Gilda's mother, who has also been betrayed by her husband.
Mary Louise Wilson and Josef Sommer make brief appearances as Gilda's
grandparents. Also, Michele Placido is seen as Giorgio.
