Synopsis: Well-to-do, sophisticated couple, Elsa and Michele, have a 20 year-old daughter, Alice, and enough money for Elsa to leave her job and fulfill an old dream of studying art history. After she... Well-to-do, sophisticated couple, Elsa and Michele, have a 20 year-old daughter, Alice, and enough money for Elsa to leave her job and fulfill an old dream of studying art history. After she graduates, however, their lives change. Michele confesses he hasn't worked in two months and was fired by the company he founded years ago. Elsa overcomes her initial shock by pouring extra energy into facing the crisis while Michele, exhausted by an unsuccessful job hunt, lets himself go, alternating between vivacity and apathy. The growing distance between them eventually leads to a break-up. Only when they apart will they realize that they risk losing their most precious possession: the love that binds them. [More]

While the context, in the U.S. as well as its native country, lends Days And Clouds added resonance, Soldini's main interest is in the politics of marriage.

A flawlessly directed drama about an Italian couple's life together in love that is besieged by unemployment and the drastic downsizing of their lives.

Elsa (Margherita Buy) and Michele (Antonio Albanese) have a problem: They're a married couple in a middlebrow arthouse movie.

Michele, in his inviolable pride and short temper, is almost a caricature of the vain Italian man, but the film otherwise deals with emotion in a truthful way.

It’s a 110-minute-long ending with no end in sight.

Soldini's finely observed, marvelously sensitive writing and direction draw you in like a subtle whirlpool.

Sensitive and subtle, it sympathetically details the devastation of economic insecurity and the regeneration of a marriage.

Deliberately paced and naturally limned by all, the family's ups and downs make for a satisfying journey.
