This sunny romantic Italian dramatic comedy directed by Fausto Brizzi, was a surprise we found in DVD format, recently. Judging by the great ensemble cast that was gathered for the production, was our guide for getting it, and it sure paid off. Mr. Brizzi has been writing for the Italian cinema for quite some time. It appears he decided to try his hand at directing, with amazing results. It is quite a feat to gather so many of Italy's best actors working in films today and turn a good movie in the process.
We are presented with a plausible adult tale involving a few couples that are in some ways interconnected to the story in ways that one could not imagine. Some couples like Luca and Loredana, long married, find themselves in an almost certain divorce. Others like Sergio, the university professor, must deal with the sudden death of his wife. Elisa, the beautiful fiancée of Corrado comes face to face to an old love, Lorenzo, whom she had not seen in many years, only to find out he is the priest that will be performing her wedding.
The comedy co-written with Massimiliano Bruno and Marco Martani, has some good moments. Claudio Bisio makes a wonderful Sergio. The gorgeous Claudia Gerini appears as Elisa. Silvio Orlando, one of the best actors working in Italian films today, is Luca. Notably in the cast we found some sons and a daughter of famous actors like Alessandro Gassman, son of Vittorio Gassman. Gianmarco Tognazzi, the son of Ugo Tognazzi and Cecile Cassel, daughter of Jean-Claude Cassel, and sister of Vincent.
A fun comedy that is about the best thing in lieu of not being in Italy at the moment!
