But there is a Christmas film that, more than any other, sends many (many?) of us into raptures just when the opening credits roll.even on the twentieth viewing: **Love doesn’t go on holiday **(Five reasons to watch it again). He’s now 18 years old (he’s from 2007) but gthe ingredients remain as fresh as ever: Jude Law in his best known glory, in the unlikely but already legendary role of a widowed father prone to tears, the toxic love a bit like “one of us” that Kate Winslet frees herself from, Cameron Diaz, a career professional with a heart of gold, an adequate soundtrack, and in the end everyone falls in love. Ok, but already seen, the super classic Christmas movie. The difference lies entirely in the houses, which as many know are mistaken by the protagonists on the internet for the Christmas holidays.
In the film, in English with better title, The Holiday, in fact, the locations are not only amazing, but remain memorable as if they were characters. Not so much Cameron Diaz’s stupendous Hollywood villa in California, but the star is Kate Winslet’s little country cottage. How can a penniless, messy editor living in Britain, where a bedsit can cost as much as a castle, live in such a beautiful old cottage? that not even Bill Gates, that’s the beauty of movie mysteries.
