Sep 22nd     
My House in Umbria**             

(US/GB/Ita 2003)

A romantic novelist survives a terrorist bomb on a train and invites the other lucky survivors to her house in Italy to help come to terms with their loss.
Beautiful locations are the mainstay of this touching drama (reminiscent of Enchanted April), commendably trying to mix in the unsentimental element, although it doesn't quite succeed as the pivotal bomb explosion comes across as a little false.
