Watched it on 2015.01.01
Two friends embark on a trip to Italy to take in the sights, have some lunch and also to take a few photographs. This is all there is to the plot of this movie.
The plot is obviously linear and straightforward, and obviously very simple. But what makes the movie enjoyable is the obvious chemistry of the two leads and the beautiful landscape and scenery throughout the movie. Although the cameraman takes in the sights as they roam (pun intended) through Rome and other cities, the movie never paused to let the sights linger a bit more. In fact, the importance of food throughout the movie was under-played as well. Whilst it seemed apparent that the director wanted the movie to showcase the food, the time allotted to the dishes was too short to do it any justice.
I do not understand the reason why the movie exists other than to document a few days in the lives of these two gentlemen. Enjoyable nonetheless.
