5.0 out of 5 stars "To give sense to life you have to escape, change", Jan 10 2007

This review is from: The Last Kiss (DVD)
This wonderful Italian movie is about relationships, from the point of view of four men in their early thirties who have them, but don't fully understand what a good relationship is about. There are lots of stories, but one theme: love, betrayal, and the growing pains of men who refuse to grow up. One of them, Paolo (Claudio Santamaria), sums up quite well the feeling of the four friends: "To give sense to life," he says, "you have to escape, change".

The main couple is that formed by Carlo (Stefano Acorsi) and Giulia (Giovanna Mezzogiorno), a young couple that has been living together for a long while and that seem to be doing very well together until the moment in which Giulia tells Carlo that she is pregnant. The direct result is that Carlo feels trapped and has a mid-life crisis, and ends up having an affair with a beautiful high-school student (Martina Stella). Actions have reactions, though, and everything will change for him, Giulia, and the lives of those around them. That includes Giulia's parents, whose marriage goes through a strong crisis at the same time Giulia discovers what Carlo did.

Gabriele Muccino's "The last kiss" ("L'ultimo bacio") will allow you to enjoy interlinked stories that deal with subjects very pertinent to today's society, the temptations it presents, and most people's refusal to grow up. You will watch the development of many stories, but Carlo and Giulia's is the main one around which all the others revolve. All of them give us an useful lesson: how many ways we may find to sabotage our own relationships. In most cases, it is up to us whether we destroy one, or take care of it. I guess that, in the last instance, we should decide what we really want and act accordingly.

All in all, I can say that I highly enjoyed this film. It is interesting and witty, and it isn't overly pessimistic despite its subject. I think that you will love it, if you like intelligent movies that also happen to be entertaining and sharp, and that have a somewhat ironic ending. If that is the case, I strongly recommend "The last kiss" to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relationships, Italian Style, Jan 25 2004

Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Last Kiss (DVD)
THE LAST KISS (L'ULTIMO BACIO) is writer/director Gabriele Muccino's astute view of relationships in contemporary Italy, a country long regarded as having marriages of convenience while masquerading affairs of the heart outside of the marriage. Muccino manages to examine a group of young men who are either 1)married with child and longing for the passion of yesterday 2) incapable of maturing into the role of committed adult 3) enjoying a non-married relationship until the specter of pregnancy threatens the passing of youthful freedom and lust or 4) sleep-around guys who can't move beyond an evening's moment of lust. There are many stories and films about today's youth being unable to partner for long-term relationships, but Muccino has the wisdom to have parallel stories about the parents of some of these youths and how middle age (and the threat of becoming grandparents) resurrects the fears of initial commitment.

Set beautifully in Italy and populated with an extraordinarily gifted ensemble of actors, this film is a roller coaster ride through the astringent downs and cascading highs of Love. Stefano Acorsi and Giovanna Mezzogiorno are the main couple whose lives we examine and it is their coming to grips with commitment when their fantasy love affair is altered by pregnancy. They both are superb and it is due to their credibility that the whole series of stories their situation initiates gathers our compassion. There is much to be learned from this sensitive film, and even more to be entertained. A sparkling survey of love, Italian Style!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent film!!, Nov 23 2003

This review is from: The Last Kiss (DVD)
This movie was terrific! The characters were portrayed as very honest and genuine, as the plot follows the lives of 4 men who are afraid to grow up. The main character, Carlo gets involved in a bit of problem and learns a lesson. Definately a great movie and I haven't seen anything like this before!
