When in Venice

Very beautiful movie set in Venice, Italy Truly amazing scenery and excellent soundtrack. Definitely a must-watch.

This movie beautifully captures the charm and romance of Venice, with its stunning canals and timeless architecture setting the perfect backdrop. The story is heartfelt and relatable, following a protagonist's journey that feels both personal and inspiring.

It's a feel-good film that transports you to the heart of Venice, making it a must-watch for anyone who loves travel or dreams of exploring the city. Equal parts charming and visually stunning, it's definitely worth your time.

As this story developed it reminded me of the 1995 movie "Before Sunrise" with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, where they meet on a train and end up spending the night in Vienna getting to know each other before he has to fly back to the States.

In this movie Max is in Italy for some sort of work-related gathering and he is at the bar one evening, alone, when Maria sits next to him and they make small talk. She wanted to see Venice and wondered if he would accompany her, just as friends. On the short train ride to Venice they even made up a few rules, like no holding hands and no kissing.

It turns out Max is fresh from a breakup that he is trying to mend, with no success. She has recently lost a family member and her desire to tour Venice is related to that.

So, much like "Before Sunrise" this story is mostly about Max and Maria getting to know each other. Which in itself is interesting, but neither exciting nor novel. However the great scenery adds a nice dimension to this movie and makes it worthwhile.

At home, streaming on Prime.

'When in Venice' is such a pleasant movie, filmed on the streets of this unique italian city. As a viewer, you follow the transformation of the characters and cheer for them. I recommend!

My daughters and I really liked the film. The story is light and enjoyable and the music seems to guide us through the unique inner corridors and canals of this breathtaking city. A must watch for anyone who has ever dreamed of one day visiting Venice or who has already had the privilege to go there.

Its a shocker, slow, boring, no real story, the dialogue was just a jumble of meaningless sentences. One of the worst films I have seen this year. It looked like somene walked around Venice with a camera following two people who were instucted to read out some random lines. So a pretty young woman who main job was to walk around with a huge smile with a dour looking bloke with no redeeming features apart from the fact he wasnt a serial killer. Then it comes to an abrupt end the credits roll. At which point my wife comments, well that was @@@ wasnt it. A succinct summary of the film and saves me having to describe it in more detail.
