Continuity mistake: When the advocate announces to his mother that he intends to marry Malena she gets mad at him. When he runs down the walkway she throws first her stick after him, then her shoe, but if you look closely she is still wearing both her shoes. (00:51:00)
Malèna (2000)
Directed by: Giuseppe Tornatore
Starring: Monica Bellucci, Giuseppe Sulfaro, Luciano Federico, Matilde Piana, Pietro Notarianni
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie we see Malena carrying her shopping back from the market. Behind her there is a huge flock of birds, but when the camera cuts closer as she drops a bag with oranges, the background is completely void of birds. (01:21:15)
Continuity mistake: Malena is tried for adultery. After she was heard as a witness, sitting in a chair in front the judge, the camera cuts to the advocate who starts his speech. A moment later the camera cuts back to her, and she is sitting next to the advocate's chair, without any chance to get there. (00:44:00)
Renato Amoroso: Signora Malena, a more capable person than me... wrote that the only true love is unrequited love. Now I understand why. It's been so long since you last came out of your house. But the longer we are apart, the stronger my love becomes.
Renato Amoroso: From now on, I'll be at your side. Forever, I promise. Just give me time to grow up.
Renato's Mother: But he'll have no pockets.
