	Up at the Villa DVD - Michael Weise Productions
		Scott-Thomas' character in VILLA seems to have a penchant for becoming involved with the wrong sort of man, and in spite of her comment that she is not likely to engage in the same foolish acts she committed when she was younger, she does exactly that.
		The setting of the story is a villa belonging to friends where Scott's impoverished character has stayed while she visited nearby Florence, Italy sometime just before the outbreak of hostilities in pre WWII Italy.
		Kristen Scott Thomas, Mary in "Up in the Villa," plays the part of widow beset by many urges, ghosts, a spot of rebellion, not to mention some deep-seated personal insecurities.

		Encamped in the hilltop villa of some absent friends, she is courted by the much older Sir Edgar (James Fox on autopilot), a careerist diplomat who offers her a life of comfort and standing in his upcoming posting to India.
		"Villa" is a far more focused work, with a smaller cast of players, but it often shows the slimness of its source material when it tries to step outside Maugham’s original.
		Bancroft eats up the role of the Princess with one after another flamboyant gesture, with a touch of malice that adds edge to the part.

	Up at the Villa - Rotten Tomatoes
		Whether it was simple nostalgia or something else that drew [the Haases] to Up at the Villa, it feels like the last shot fired in a war that was settled long, long ago.
		Up at the Villa is lovely to look at, but it doesn't make a great deal of sense.
		Ultimately, Up at the Villa falls flat because the 'intrigue' of this little drama is sorely lacking.

	DVD Talk Review: Up at the Villa
		"Up At The Villa" is a rather usual romantic tale, only set ages ago in Italy, where Mary Panton(Kirsten Scott Thomas) has just left her husband who was a bit of a drunk to put matters lightly.
		The movie ends up being one of those period pieces where it's certainly very pretty to look at with beautiful locations and cinematography, but there's not enough going on or enough material for the actors to really create much energy or interest in the events.
		VIDEO: Aside from one strange, short problem, the presentation from USA Films for "Up At The Villa" is not perfect, but overall better than their previous two releases ("Waking the Dead" and "Joe Gould's Secret") which didn't quite fare as well in this department.

	Up At The Villa
		That is sad, because 'Up at the Villa' features Kristin Scott Thomas in her strongest and most well-written role yet.
		This is an actress who deserved to pick up an Oscar for 'The English Patient', but her performance in this film beats that hollow.
		As for Anne Bancroft, she may not appear in more than one or two films a year but her contribution to this movie was extremely fine and she was so intriguing to watch in such a character.

	Movie-List: DVD: Up at the Villa
		Strangely reminiscent of Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, Philip Haas's Up at the Villa is a similarly insulated psychosexual drama detached from the larger world yet with consequences well beyond itself.
		As with Kubrick's final masterpiece, Up at the Villa is constructed around a self-centered character whose insecurities about marriage set a disastrous chain of events into motion.
		Based on a novella by W. Somerset Maugham, Up At the Villa finds Mary forced to take charge of her life after a one-night stand with an Austrian immigrant (Jeremy Davies) leads to tragedy.

		In Up at the Villa, W. Somerset Maugham portrays a wealthy young English woman who finds herself confronted rather brutally by the repercussions of whimsy.
		Before morning, Mary will witness bloodshed, she will be forced to seek advice and assistance from an unsavory man, and she will have to face the truth about her own yearnings.
		Erotic, haunting, and maddeningly suspenseful, Up at the Villa is a masterful tale of temptation and the capricious nature of fate.

	DVD REVIEW: "UP AT THE VILLA"
		Now "Up at the Villa" follows suit, although it really only uses the historical context of Italy's progressive mutation as an interesting backdrop for its story.
		That certainly jacks up the proceedings and initially makes things more interesting, but the film never quite manages to hit and/or maintain its full stride down the homestretch of becoming a completely satisfactory film.
		Although the film was barely noticed at the box office, its lack of numerous supplemental materials (we get a trailer and some onscreen textual descriptions of the cast and crew) is somewhat surprising in this day and age of every bell and whistle being added to even the worst or financially unsuccessful films.

	Up at the Villa
		In "Up at the Villa," it's Italy, just as Mussolini has the trains running on time and Hitler is running over half of Europe.
		Based on a Somerset Maugham novella, "Up at the Villa" is unquestionably superior to its predecessors.
		It's probably not enough to make Up at the Villa the movie it should have been, but it's enough to make it watchable in a sort of guilty pleasure way.
