Toscana

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.

As a Dane, Anders Matthesen is an insitution in himself; he is one of the most wellknown stand-up comedians we have in our country, and to see him tackle on a more serious role is quite refreshing. Also, I am quite a foodie myself, working as a food prepper at a deli and as a home cook/food blogger, and to me the highlight of the movie was showcasing Tuscan cuisine as well as the beauty of Tuscany. However, the script and plot of the movie was not very spectacular in execution and felt kind of tired after a while, and while some of the characters were quite likeable, in the end they made a lot of choices that didn't really make any sense.

Could be a good remake of A Good Year if the writers filled the loopholes in the script. Where's Toscana? Do you know where Parmigiano Reggiano is produced? How come a famous chef could be unaware of what's going on in Italy and its depth of gastronomy? Why do you need a fast paced love story? Exaggerated father issues of the protagonist etc.

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

Nordic cuisine meets bella whats not to like Italy.

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.
