Movie review: Hope, loneliness linger in “Kisses”
The fugitive romance “Kisses” is many things. Irish writer-director Lance Daly’s feature is a lyrical charmer with serrated edges. How can a story about two neighboring 11-year-olds on the lam in a big city not be? Pascale Machalani – Bahebak Ana Bahebak (English subtitles)

Giuseppe Tornatore’s beautiful 1988 film about a little boy’s love affair with the movies deservedly won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film and a Special Jury Prize at Cannes. Philippe Noiret plays a grizzled old projectionist who takes pride in his presentation of screen dreams for a town still recovering from World War II.

One of the most ferociously iconoclastic and experimental films of the French New Wave, Alain Resnais’s 1961 feature, winner of the grand prize at that year’s Venice Film Festival, is based on a script by Alain Robbe-Grillet. At its center is what seems to be a simple but unanswerable puzzle: Did its protagonist (Giorgio Albertazzi) have an affair the year before with a woman (Delphine Seyrig) he …
Over 800 years old, the gondola is a regarded as a symbol of romance. Although thinking of a gondola may bring thoughts of Venice Italy, the gondola ride found in Newport Beach can be just as romantic when it comes to the symbol of romance.
Once you sit in the black yet sleek gondola, you’ll be steered into the fairy-tale setting of the hidden canals beyond Newport Beach. Most of the time, the individual steering the gondola will appear discreet yet mysterious, hearing nothing and saying nothing.
With this sense, the boat will almost appear to be moving by magic, gliding along with nothing to disturb the soft music. Occasionally, you can hear the splashing of a fish breaking the surface of the water, which actually adds to the music and the tempo of the gondola ride.
With the gondola floating so close to the surface of the water, you’ll feel as if every sense you have is being tapped. The warmth of the sun, the smell of the water, and the lapping of the waves will set your mind off like never before.
As you travel through the canals, you’ll find yourself wondering if the houses are deserted and just how romantic the atmosphere and setting make you feel. Even though you may have the urge to dangle your fingers in the water, the relaxing feel of the gandola will make you feel as if you are too relaxed to move a muscle!
When the sun sets, you’ll pass other gandolas as they travel through the canals. On a couple ride, the gandola can help to rekindle the flame or just take you to a whole new world. Once you return to the docks, you’ll probably find yourself wishing that the ride would never end.
If you’ve never experienced a gondola ride, it’s one thing that you simply must try. As a wedding ride, honeymoon ride, couple ride, or just a couple of friends, the gondola ride is something that will make you feel as never before.
While there are a few providers of gondola rides in Newport Beach, each one offers you the ride of a lifetime. The gondola ride brings a touch of romance to Newport Beach, which is something each and every couple should have the pleasure of experiencing.
If you plan on visiting Newport Beach or if you already live in the area, a gondola ride is something you shouldn’t hesitate to try. It brings a whole new sense to the word romance and can easily make you forget everything that has troubled you in life – if even for a brief moment.
