Customer Reviews of Miracle in Rome
A father's love, a daughter's eternal sleep... This is a strangely beautiful yet sensual film about the love of a father for his dead child. When a man's seven-year-old daughter suddenly dies his grief is terrible and he visits her grave regularly, finding comfort in the knowledge that he can be near to her. But after twelve years the tomb she has lain in is to be demolished so he is forced to take her body to be buried elsewhere.
However upon opening up the tomb he is shocked to find her body in a state of perfect preservation. It is as if she is just sleeping. The man's superstitious but deeply religious neighbours see a miracle in their midst and support him in his bid to take on the Roman Catholic Church with the story ending in Rome and the true Miracle happening in the last few minutes of the film which will surely bring tears to your eyes.
There are many touching scenes, such as the little girl's father buying her, her first pair of sneakers, and his desperation when he realises that his daughter just might be taken away from him, along with the father's introduction to the shallowness of human nature combined with the surprising kindness of strangers.
This is a film that crafted like porcelain, delicate, yet strong, colourful yet tasteful. Absolutely wonderful!

GGM provides an excellent account of the encounter of Latin American and European worlds. The former shows spontaneity and hope the latter expects formality and respect to tradition. This movie provides a good initiation into the world of Garcia Marquez
Recommended for the beginning Spanish class
Students studying Spanish find it easy to follow this video as it draws them into the uniquely Latin American perspective on death that lives beyond the grave.
The story begins in Colombia and shows us the deep love of a father for his daughter and his grief when she dies suddenly. Supported by his countrymen, who believe the state of her body 12 years later qualifies her for beatification, the father travels with her to Rome, seeking sainthood and finding a miracle. The story is touching and rises to a surprising "Twilight Zone" conclusion. END
