Saw it on the big screen when it was first released and found it intoxicatingly romantic and visually breathtakingly.
Bought it on Blu Ray last year and watched it with my mother. She loved it with all her heart and soul and it was a great Sunday afternoon together. That Sunday afternoon and her joy will always be special to me because A ROOM WITH A VIEW was the last film we watched together before her short term memory loss and bouts of senile dementia really kicked in. I did watch A DOG'S PURPOSE with her a month or so later, and she loved that too, but she got confused by the scenes of reincarnation and I had to stop the film and explain what was happening before we could continue.
My mom turns 83 shortly and we no longer go to the cinema or watch Blu Rays together. She still lives alone - with her three cats, and while I speak to her almost every day and see her a few times a week we mostly talk about the past (and I try to help her cope with the present).
