- It's the start of the 20th century, and Tuccio, resident playwright of a theatre repertory company offers the owners of the company his new play, "Illuminata".

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A gloriously giddy movie about theater, love and artifice"
-
"John Turturro's farce about life and theater that is by turns elegant and bawdy, but always transfixing."
-
"Often elegant, at times frustratingly uneven, comedy that is hopelessly in love with theatre, poetry, and -- for once -- marriage"
