Reel Lives: Italian Film Club: The Last One for the Road

Italian Film Club at Nerve Cinema, a series of ongoing screenings showcases Italian culture and Italian language through contemporary and classic titles from Italian cinema.

Carlobianchi and Doriano, two broke, rogue-ish fifty-somethings with a ‘never skip the last drink’ philosophy, meet Giulio, a shy architecture student adrift in life. What starts as a chance encounter turns into a chaotic road trip through the Venetian plains — where bad advice, hangovers, and unexpected friendship redraw Giulio’s plans for life and love.

Francesco Sossai’s dazzling second feature, The Last One for the Road is a crowd-pleasing comedy full of eccentric characters and freewheeling tales which is the boozy road movie you didn’t know you needed this summer. Take a trip across Northern Italy with this charming, crazy adventure with fabulous performances by Filippo Scotti (The Hand of God), Sergio Romano, and Pierpaolo Capovilla.
