Amore...
nickochris25 April 2021
Very enjoyable Italian love comedy about tough city girl who inherit the country farm house, where she spend her summer vacations.

Lots of beautiful people, Italian scenery (whats not to like) and never a dull moment.

Perfect movie for a romantic evening with that special someone, some pasta and vino.

Check it out.

A tangle of characters a lot of small things, details of their lives
marcofranchino9 June 2020
Guia, a young and beautiful woman, manages a famous fashion magazine in the Italian fashion capital, glamorous Milan. The trusted assistant (Carola) and her opportunistic partner (Marco) work with her. Guia is snobbish and cynical, her life takes an unexpected turn when, after the death of her father, she inheirits an old Apulian farmhouse, especially when the task of getting rid of it demonstrates to be harder then originally espected.

This movie is a tangle of characters. The movie is able to capture a lot of small things, details of their lives, that make them feel real and authentic. Pino (a majestic Neri Marcorè) lives in the farmhouse, he is Guia's cousin suffering from intellectual disability but in many ways he appears to be wiser then most people. Then Renzo, who takes care of raising his son Toni, is running the farm. And also rival bartenders Delfo and Felice, the romantic Mara in search of love, Rosario who alternates the butcher's job with that of real estate agent. Guia, more and more time is spent away from her glossy but superficial world, understands the beauty of this bucholic world and this simple life. Carola, that came to assist her, has a similar change of heart. Initially seeming mundane and lackluster the farmhouse is discovered much more as a temple for simple life. All these characters are the same, hiding beauty. Will Guia, Carola but also Mara find happiness discovering this beauty? All comes together in a majestic scene of the village festival involving chinese lanterns.

Good watch.

Classical Hollywood romance but in Italy
cazootje7 May 2021
There were some nice characters in this, like Pino. But it had nothing new apart from the setting. Could have done without the treatment of female characters as being cattle to be gawked at too. It's the 21st century, even for male producers.

A GREAT Italian COMEDY
maralvimmm28 June 2017
A film with energy, charming, a cool surprise, here we see opposite worlds, one of glam Parisian fashion with the rusticity of rural life. A beautiful picture, which for that reason is already hilarious. Made efficiently and engaging, look good, I liked it!

Filmmaker Paolo Genovese brings the poignancy of Italian cinema, which was asleep, I was already very moved by Italian cinema, but I never saw his films again. Welcome to the filmmaker, who already has a significant career, writing and directing films such as Una Familia Perfeita (2012), Perfetti Sconosciuti (2016) and others. I'll need to know.
