Mid-August Lunch

2008, Movie, 1h 15min

Gianni is a middle-aged man living in Rome with his imposing and demanding elderly mother. His only outlet from her and the increasing debt into which they are sinking, are the increasingly frequent quiet sessions at the local tavern. As an Oriental saying goes, 'Moments of crisis are moments of opportunities'. These appear during the celebration of the holiday of Ferragosto on 15 August. That's when everybody leaves town to have fun. Opportunity knocks on Gianni's door in the most unexpected way.

...it’s the gently farcical interaction and cutting dialogue of the non-professional cast that makes this so enticing.

...a film of rare benevolence that treats its subjects with dignity and playfulness.

These women are marvelous, with ancient, creased faces and the kind of admirable fuck-all attitude that comes with age.

Samspelet mellan skådisarna är fantastiskt, och det finns så mycket energi, väme och liv i Augustilunch i Rom att man sitter med ett nästan konstant leende på läpparna. Se den.

...en ualmindelig charmerende skive romersk hverdag, som helt uden forstyrrende ambitioner bliver serveret.

...är precis en sådan film man vill se. Om allting men ändå ingenting, alltså feelgood i dess allomfattande bemärkelse.
