A question for Spaniards


Simple question really, one of the main characters Elena is said to be Italian, is this distinguishable by her accent, if so are there any specific examples. Thanks in advance.

Francesca Neri does not have any italian accent in my opinion.
But I am mexican.
Maybe somebody from Spain would think otherwise.
She is quite a dish, isn't she?

reply

She talks spanish very well, but has a little foreign accent.

I'm from Barcelona. ;)

i fancied the pant's of helena..so gorgeous!

reply

Me too! But did anyone else notice how much she looked like Michelle Pfiefer?

reply

Francesca Neri does have a "foreign" accent, but it's quite subtle. If not for his name would be hard to guess where is she from just based on her accent.

reply

Spanish is my third language but I was able to pick up on it a few times throughout the movie (not that it really matters). I guessed she was Portuguese by the end.

reply

I could notice her accent pretty much, I'm from Argentina.

Remember, in the story she's the daughter of an Italian diplomat, and at the funeral, people (including Victor) speak Italian to her.
