  A heart-felt drama directed by Vittorio De Sica (BICYCLE THIEVES) - the filmmaking trio De Sica Loren and Mastroianni - who remain to-date the undisputed Italian film royalty - became the most successful film team in Italy with their films bringing home Oscars and or Cannes Awards as well as fame and fortune around the world. Here they are a the very top of their game with Loren and Mastroianni as the newly-wed lovers torn apart by War who never give up on one another despite almost impossible odds. Mastroianni is the soldier left to die in the howling snows of a frozen Russian winter and LOREN his young bride who fights all the odds of post war Russia to find the man she said she would never leave! SUNFLOWER was produced by Carlo Ponti (DOCTOR ZHIVAGO BLOW UP LA STRADA A SPECIAL DAY) with Joseph Levine: it has in fact a lot of Zhivago connotations and similar wide vista production values. Interestingly SUNFLOWERS was the 1st 'westerner' film shot in Russia - and Ukraine - about a world torn apart by war ..! SUNFLOWER has the potential to cross over from world cinema art house into familyviewing drama because like Zhivago this English-speaking film is an intense life-affirming drama of love lost and found set against a war background. Bonus Features: Sophia Yesterday Today Tomorrow Documentary (54 min) exclusive documentary SOPHIA YESTERDAY TODAY TOMORROW is an exclusive candid personal interview with Loren it includes never before seen footage of Loren's life & features her family and many close friends such as Woody Allen Giorgio Armani ..
