A Stellar Cast from America and Italy Shine Together



After exquisitely capturing the sweet allure of "Midnight in Paris," Woody Allen shifts gears dramatically with his latest work, 'To Rome with Love.' This film transports viewers to the sun-drenched ancient capital of Italy through four distinct narratives.

In 2005, Woody Allen relocated his filmmaking base from New York to Europe. He has since delivered a string of masterpieces, including 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' and 'You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger,' each freely incorporating the customs, culture, history, and spirited character of his beloved European cities. This latest film can be considered his ultimate achievement.

The cast, which garnered attention for Woody Allen's return to acting after a six-year hiatus, features a brilliant ensemble of American and Italian stars, including Alec Baldwin, Judy Davis, and Roberto Benigni. Additionally, Penélope Cruz appears as a call girl, hailing from Spain.

The film's visual style, reminiscent of Allen's unique interpretation of 1960s and 70s Italian comedies, is complemented by picturesque cityscapes that richly showcase Rome's charm. Don't miss the breathtaking scenery.
