Toscana

This film is an odd duck. The colours are Italian. The scenery is Italian. The feeling is.. definitely not Italian. In a way, it's like Theo... awkwardly trying to process and integrate into a scenery and culture that is not their own and that they struggle to understand.

Yes, the change is way too rushed. The romance feels forced. But this is a man who has lost a father twice. Perhaps its odd tone reflects the inner turmoil Theo has to deal with before he finds his centre.

I recommend seeing the movie. Seing Anders Matthesen in more serious roles is always fascinating but I think he does a great job. The storyline is a bit generic and not much new is brought to the table, but it is great still. Its a bit more heavy than your typical romance of this type, which is what makes it better than other movies of the same type.

The summary is really all you need. As others have noted the scenery is lovely. The acting is forced and rushed.

Just skip this one and watch A Good Year.

After pandemic and lockdown you just want some featherlight and beautiful images to look at.

Nordic cuisine meets bella whats not to like Italy.

Anders Matthesen and meshmerizing Cristiana Dell'anna (from Gomorrah serie).

Its lovely food porn and a story seen before, but I was entertained, and I know its worth your time too.

So check it out.

This multilingual film doesn't deliver on its promise. The story is supposed to be full of drama but the actors don't quite capture it even if they tried. They simply don't rise to the occasion.

The saving grace? Idyllic Tuscan countryside which is a feast for the eyes rendered in soft palette.
