Brilliant flick, that warmed me up in the 31 'st December.
The movies is with pretty much all irregularities , deviations of life patterns and slightly pinching and swinging the beauty and dusty darkness of young life . What I love about the movie is it gives a space, for all who haven't figured them in all the details of it .
The all kind of friendly, happy ,romantic, bitter ,anxious,erotic,carefree chemistry is in well balanced with in the game and it all in mix of right proportion. Indeed the the entire crew had done a great job here.
We got memories to live, we got to leave them and then become nostalgic . But that very thing will be your story. Marco think about the death, and movie open with clues to utter depression but the movie in it's flow, gracefully chunked this ever longing depressive question and dispose. Such a relief exactly like the summer.
You don't know what Matt and Paul is doing, Jul never showed after, after the trip. I am sure Marco will say same even after another decade. This all ringing a bell to say that ' don't dare question the adventure of life' as it was never to be strictly alter. Dear Marco , Of course you are not the only one learning to be something and struggling with flashbacks. 8 happy stars to 'Summertime'

When watching certain feature films, and they are quite rare, we would dream of being in the place of the protagonists or better, with them. Experience what they experience, share their moments and be an integral part of their human adventure.
Above all, these are films that are part of reality, made of stolen moments, films that sketch life and allow us to escape from it. "Summertime" is clearly one of them.
At the end of the screening, we have the pleasant feeling of having spent a vacation with the characters, of having lived for the duration of a film a month of weightless moments and that time has stopped for a fraction of second so that we can experience a sweet dream. When the lights come back on we want it to continue and we find ourselves face to face with reality, accompanied by a slight feeling of nostalgia which makes us feel blue. Like the day after a nice party of sorts!
Here, the production is Italian but the film is largely set in the United States, this film allowing the filmmaker a bridge between the two countries.
We are not really in an overly sweet sentimental bluette but rather in the accurate chronicle of a summer like no other.
The film moves at breakneck speed and you'll be left wanting more.
The camera in "Muccino" knows how to be aerial, far from flatly filmed romantic fictions.
A quartet to which we really get attached, trying to guess what will happen between them and with what combination. But we appreciate that it all remains realistic and down to earth, just a magical period, an enchanted interlude for four people who will get to know each other and learn to love each other. We also like that the conclusion is more bitter than expected but ultimately much more insightful than usual.
The actors are astonishingly natural and in perfect symbiosis. It may not be a masterpiece but certainly a sweet and refreshing film.
A true bubble of happiness just waiting to be consumed.

I love a good summer movie, and in general the basic story here is solid, as is most of the acting, but the weak script and at times stilted direction negate each other and leave you with a basically OK film. My friend I saw it with really liked it and connected with it, but for me it was just pleasant and not particularly special.
A young, good-looking, and inexplicably well-off gay male couple occupy a multi-million dollar unit in the historic Duboce triangle district of San Francisco -- they also own a sailboat and a car as well. The couple decide to host some strangers from Italy, who turn out to be a pair of bratty and insufferable teenagers.
After insulting their hosts immediately upon meeting, the two teens continue to disrespect said hosts by bickering like petulant children. Despite this, the gay couple chooses to not only be generous with their home, but also their time, because despite being young, gay, good-looking and rich in San Francisco, these two men apparently have no lives or friends, allowing them plenty of time to entertain their ungrateful and annoying guests.
The story gets even weirder and further stretches reality. One of the men decides to quit his job in order to pursue his passion of riding horses, which is made possible because his partner agrees to "pick up more hours" as a realtor in order to compensate. This is also perfect timing as their freeloading guests extend their stay from the originally intended few days to an entire month without anyone questioning it.
One half of the bratty teens suddenly falls for the other half, but the other half started off being a virginal prude who then falls for one of the gay hosts she originally deemed a "pervert".
Honestly, none of this convoluted nonsense makes any sense at all. The only thing that made this movie worth watching for me was seeing shots of beautiful Rome and San Francisco.

Was well worth the watch. You won't be disappointed. Friendships,love,relationships. Friends being full of life enjoying there company together . A lesson to enjoy life to the fullest.
