Review of Ginger & Fred

Ginger & Fred (1986)
9/10
Wonderful Giulietta Masina
27 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
They were a good pair of tap performance some 40 years ago. Though they slept together many times, eventually they parted without loving each other. One day, the man and the woman of the pair meet decades later. If you are either side of the pair, would you accept the offer for the TV show? They might have something to hurt themselves when they parted. If they meet in their forties, when they are still professional performers, the reunion could only remind them the bitter memory. But it seems they have already passed such age and situation.

Rome is full of garbage. The TV studio is full of showy and mockery things. But this variety show becomes unforgettable time for them.

Many times they are about to go away from the show, but eventually, when the TV studio is in turmoil of black out, they talk honestly, and they know they really wanted to see each other and dance again. When they dance, the face of Giulietta Masina is wonderful and impressive. And Marcello Mastroianni desperately dances not to fall again.

While watching the movie, I recalled my own past and thought if I could someday see the woman who left me many years ago.
