To Forget Venice

About This Movie

To Forget Venice is a quietly haunting drama that captures the essence of family ties and the shadow of the past. Nicky and Anna's reunion is steeped in nostalgia, painted with the soft, dreamlike hues of the Venetian landscape. The performances feel intimate, almost like eavesdropping on real lives, especially with Claudia and Picchio's presence adding layers of tension. There’s a deliberate pacing that lets emotions unfold naturally, leaving you with a lingering sense of melancholy. It’s not flashy, but the subtlety is what makes it distinctive—like the slow reveal of long-buried secrets in a small town.

To Forget Venice has been released in various formats over the years, but collectors often find the early VHS editions to be the most coveted due to their rarity. Its limited availability and the somewhat obscure nature of the director contribute to a growing interest among collectors who appreciate nuanced storytelling. This film is often discussed in niche circles, making it a unique find for those who delve into lesser-known gems of the late 70s European cinema.
