While travelling to visit their grandfather, two children are told the story of a family curse that has lasted two hundred years. During Napoleon's Italian invasion, Elisabetta Benedetti fell in love with French soldier Jean - but while Jean was distracted, Elisabetta's brother Corrado stole some gold that Jean was guarding, and set the curse in motion.
The Benedettis become wealthy, corrupt and hated by their former friends, who rename them the Maledettis - the cursed. The children's grandfather Massimo is the last man to be directly affected by the curse - but will he pass it onto them?

This is a fairly late addition to the output of the great Taviani Brothers. It combines beautiful Italian scenery and strong emotions.The film suggests that the sins of the fathers might well haunt and ultimately destroy their descendants. This may be superstition but the film presents a convincing case.

One of the best Italian language films I have bought. Very good acting, and a good story which had us captivated throughout. I would recommend this to anyone who likes films that are a little different and that are not aimed at mass markets. (Lovely Italian scenery)

I bought this as I remember the Taviani brothers' film Kaos (sadly not currently available to watch on dvd in Europe) as one of the best films I have ever seen. I didn't find Fiorile nearly as haunting and beautiful as Kaos, but I did enjoy it and especially liked the early part set in Napoleonic times. It is a good story, well acted and attractive visually.
The dvd also contains a long interview by Carlo Lizzani with the Taviani brothers talking about their lives and film-making career, which I found interesting and entertaining.
