I watched the full slog for the first time; laughable that the putred green colour she didn’t want is exactly what she got !
Speedo swings in on a Friday to ask her if that’s the colour she wanted, reminding her it’s ok as long as she pays and does all the work, while he’s eager to get to his waiting cannolis and tortellini. Earlier in the week he looked beat up and deflated by his road running, but he’s had time in Florence to shake it off.
What a lovely gift for pa, an electric saw, given he’s due to leave soon and it’s the only way she’ll get the cabinet done in time. He’s not often on camera, usually see only his back as he’s slaving for his incorrigible daughter. And what have we here; ma is piloting a wheelbarrow down a hill and lugging jugs of water. Do these people ever rest ? Does K let them ? Pa, finally shown as a person, looks thin and frail and ma looks dutiful after likely a lifetime of catering to K’s whims. Do they ever get to partake in La Dolce Vita that KyLIE so readily espouses to everyone else ?
