Italy's actress Isabella Ferrari poses before the screaming of the movie "Un Giorno Perfetto" (English title : Perfect Day) directed by Turkey's Ferzan Ozpetek during the 65th Venice International Film Festival at Venice Lido, on August 30.
The film belies its cheery title, which is also reflected in the poster for the movie showing a couple with two smiling children on the grass, as if for a picnic.
Based on the novel of the same name by Melania Mazzucco, it centres on a crime of passion and is a series of snapshots -- some poignant, some mundane -- from the 24-hour period leading up to the tragedy.
Isabella Ferrari, who won the award here for best supporting actress in Ettore Scola's "Romanzo di un Giovane Povero" (1995), plays the estranged wife of a lawmaker's police bodyguard, played by Valerio Mastandrea, who also won honours in Venice, a special mention best actor award for "Velocita Massima" (2002).
Able acting fails to compensate for heavy-handed melodrama and an intrusive subplot about the lawmaker and his family.
