This Is the Garden (1999)
Director: Giovanni Davide Maderne
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A deeply Catholic youth movie, this has a very straight cello student moving in with her boyfriend, a gifted pianist, forgoing mass, and ending up pregnant. Meanwhile her fella neglects his studies, takes a demeaning job and starts drinking heavily. That's just for starters: the wages of sin are abortion and a stolen grand piano - and I'll surely be damned straight to Hell for daring to venture this competently observed movie plays like a set text.Author: TCh
