## Description

Product Description If you liked UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN, you'll love this wonderful romantic comedy set in the stunning Italian countryside! Ambitious agent Jeremy Taylor (Joshua Jackson -- CURSED, TV's DAWSON'S CREEK) is sent by his London publishing company on a mission to achieve what many others have failed to do: sign reclusive, wildly eccentric author Weldon Parish (Academy Award(R) nominee Harvey Keitel -- Best Supporting Actor, BUGSY, 1991; NATIONAL TREASURE). Once in enchanting Tuscany, however, Jeremy instead falls head over heals for Weldon's beautiful daughter (Claire Forlani -- THE MEDALLION, ANTITRUST) and develops a friendship with the literary master. It's a charming, fun, and passionate tale that's sure to steal your heart! desertcart.com Shadows in the Sun is a feel-good movie that tells the story of two men who're struggling to overcome their fears of not being good enough. When Jeremy Taylor (a charming Joshua Jackson of Dawson's Creek) is assigned the unenviable task of tracking down and signing up reclusive author Weldon Parish (Harvey Keitel), he has his work cut out for him. The American expatriate hasn't written a book in 20 years, has no interest in dealing with junior editors such as Taylor, and sees no reason why he should change his idyllic lifestyle in Italy to worry about meeting hurried deadlines and publisher's editorial changes. In reality, Parish--who stopped writing when his wife died--is scared he won't be able to live up to his reputation as a relevant literary icon. After a few fistfights and the reclaiming of a stolen cow, the two begin to bond. A little. As Parish tells Taylor, "I dislike you less today than yesterday." Not as subtle as Diane Lane's Under the Tuscan Sun, Shadows in the Sun highlights the beauty of rural Italy--and of Claire Forlani, who plays Parish's daughter Isabella. The warm acting and lush scenery transcend the film's slow-moving pace and the predictable ending, which, in movies like this, can be nothing other than happy. --Jae-Ha Kim

Review: Excellent movie - This movie checks all the boxes for me. Humor, drama, romance, bromance, and location kept my interest throughout the story. And it's believably cast; each character is well-represented. That it's filmed in a small Italian village sets the stage perfectly, to me. It touches all the bases without overdoing any of them.
Review: Shadows In The Sun - I enjoyed this movie so much that I can watch it over and over again. The casting is perfect and all the actors are superb. The only problem is, there is another entirely different movie with different cast with the same title! This is the one that is filmed in Tuscany, and stars Harvey Keitel, Joshua Jackson, and Claire Forlani, with Giancarlo Giannini. Harvey Keitel is perfect for this part as an eccentric, famous author, Welden Parish, who has, to the dismay of his fans, stopped writing and now owns a vineyard in Tuscany, living the life of a recluse. Keitel is at his best in this role. Joshua Jackson was charming as the young book editor, sent to Italy to convince Weldon Parish to start writing again. With charm, charisma and good looks, Joshua Jackson portrays his character with intelligence and integrity as well as being comedic and bumbling. He was well cast with Claire Forlani who seemed well suited for her role as Isabella, who has a romantic interest in Jeramy Taylor (Joshua Jackson). And what can you say about Carlo Giannini? He is ALWAYS outstanding; one of the best actors ever and, as usual, contributes much to the enjoyment of the movie. And then there's the scenery. Ahhhh, that beautiful Italian countryside and the charming villas. I loved the story, the scenery, the music, and characters, and for those who love a feel-good movie, I highly recommend Shadows In The Sun!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the movie!
*by L***R on February 19, 2013*

Shadows in the Sun is a touching movie about a young editor, Jeremy (played by Joshua Jackson), who is told to convince an older author, Weldon Parish (played by Harvey Keitel), to write another book to be published by the company Jeremy works for. Weldon has not written a book for twenty years. He stopped writing after his wife was killed in a car accident. He is an off the wall kind of man who lives the way he wants to live not caring in the slightest what others might think. Jeremy wants to be a writer but doesn't know what he would have to say. He envies Weldon because the man has incredible talent. Jeremy also feels frustrated with Weldon because Weldon refuses to write. Weldon says he doesn't write because he believes he does not have anything left to say. The scene that I love the most in this movie is when Weldon sits before his typewriter with his fingers poised above the keys. Tears collect in his eyes, and his emotions overwhelm him. His fear and grief are written all over his face. The next scene that touches my heart is the one where Weldon says to his three beautiful adult daughters, "What? Haven't you ever seen a writer?" The daughters hug their father and cry because their father, whom they love dearly, has begun to write again. The movie is funny in many places. I love it when Weldon convinces Jeremy to steal a cow. The movie also moves me to tears. Weldon says something like this, "Aren't all artists crazy? There are many talented people out there who do not make any money. You don't choose to be an artist. It chooses you." I can relate. I did not wake up one day and say, "I suppose I should write novels. Yes, that's a good idea. I want to make pennies per hour and have a small chance of being read." True writers write simply to write regardless of the outcome. Writers write because they have something to say, and this movie captures that truth in an entertaining and moving way.
