...fractured fairy tale. For the film's first (and best) few minutes, we are in the storybook realm of such deformed superheroes as Pinocchio, Cyrano de Bergerac and Edward Scissorhands. But the movie soon cozies into the princess-in-hiding genre that spawned It Happened One Night, Roman Holiday and dozens more. Penelope has been locked away at home, where her fretting, frittery parents (Catherine O'Hara and Richard T. Grant) parade a retinue of potential husbands, all of whom are nauseated at the sight of her. Finally, in an attempt to define herself as something other than That Rich...

Will Bob, the Kenezvics' 17-year-old son who doesn't really talk to anyone at holiday dinners anymore, decide he wants to secede from the family? At some point you hit what scientists call the terminal unit - the smallest reducible component of any system - and this feels like...
...exploit its creative talent to the full. Iconic designs include the Cisitalia 202 Gran Sport, a 1947 automobile whose svelte curves were emblematic of the epoch's streamlined aesthetic; and Piaggia's Vespa 150 GS, similar to the one ridden by Audrey Hepburn in the 1953 film Roman Holiday. Speed also played its part in the golden age of Italian cinema; witness the Lancia Spider that homegrown idol Vittorio Gassman drove in Il Sorpasso, a 1962 road movie dripping with dolce vita style...
