About Light of My Eyes
Antonio is a fallen angel, a rootless chauffeur who relates only to the lonely heroes in the science fiction novels he grew up with. Only through a chance meeting with Maria, a woman struggling to hold onto her daughter and her business, does he discover a hope that's been in his detached existence.
Directed by Giuseppe Piccioni, Light of My Eyes leans on a strong ensemble — Luigi Lo Cascio, Sandra Ceccarelli, Silvio Orlando — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2001.
