To Rome with Love (2012 Woody Allen & scr)

Alessandro Tiberi and Alessandra Mastronardi are newlyweds who become separated - he has the good fortune to bump into Penelope Cruz while she experiences first a romantic film star and then - in a fabulous plot twist - a romantic burglar.

Penelope Cruz bumps into some of her clients

Architect Jesse Eisenberg falls for Ellen Page whilst Alec Baldwin acts as an ironic chorus:


And Roberto Benigni is bewildered when he suddenly becomes famous for being famous.


Added up it's one of his funniest recent films, shot in a gorgeous hue by Darius Khondji.
