Very disappointed :(
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
I found this movie, the third of a series, a bit underdone...let down by De Niro and saved by Verdone and Scamarcio. If there's one thing I can't stand it's that so called "great" actors like De Niro are not able to even learn a few words in Italian. Yes he's supposed to be American (even though he's a professor haha) but in real life as in the movie, his lack of the language ability just adds to my low expectations of him. This overrated actor almost killed the movie.
I eagerly waited for this movie to come out as I knew about De Niro's part in it, and I was not disappointed with the results. The Ages Of Love or Manuale D'Amour is a movie that shows picturesque passages of Italy thus letting the audience mix with the story in a still, yet amusive plot that is prompt of sweet, credible and comic relationships. It is a film which contains interesting stories and shows De Niro's versatility proving again the actor's will and ability to transform himself into different characters while showing a new side of the actor, that I myself, having seen most of his works, have never seen before. Perfect for a calm afternoon if you're willing to relax and have a good time.
Pleasant surprise! The director Giovanni Veronesi presents us with a film with a format already used in films directed by other directors, but with a unique sense of humor ... When the story moves toward mawkishness, Veronesi immediately "speaks to us", "Hey, you're watching a comedy, remember?" And then in a matter of seconds the laughter comes spontaneous, magical ... In my opinion, Carlo Verdone and Donatella Finocchiaro give us a real "show" the interpretation! Magnificent two with the episode number two! Robert De Niro once again shows that it is an extremely versatile actor ... His strip is comic and the comic actor knows to be dosed ridicule ... And Monica Belucci? Beautiful, lush mature at the age ... ready to be "harvested" with a seductive aspect ... Cinematography made with care and that captures the atmosphere and Italian ... On a scale of 1 to 10, vote is 9.
I must say i decide to watch this movie because of the De Niro him self and what i've got was a very pleasant movie witch i wasn't expect at first. .The cast is well done along with the colors of the ambient describing Rome and Toscana and directing as well.This type of romantic comedies as I see can be very boring sometimes especially if they are American.But talking into the consideration that this was an Italian spoken language film and the stories in it are very credible in its contents I really enjoyed it.Life can be very delightful in so many levels.....8/10
