The Last Kiss, written and directed by Gabriele Muccino is one of the best films that have come out from Italy in the last years. It has the right ingredients to appeal to an international audience.
The morale of the film is, perhaps, that boys will be boys in Italy as well as anywhere in the world. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why would Carlo betray Giulia at the first chance he gets. The only way it could be understood would have been to have cast a different actress than Giovanna Mezzogiorno in the role. Not only is Ms. Mezzogiorno gorgeous, what man in his right mind would even consider having a fling with anyone else?
Stefano Accorsi's Carlo is obviously dazed and confused by the young girl he happens to meet. This is the message of the film, gamble with your happiness and you'll lose everything.
Beautiful Stefania Sandrelli has a small part as Giulia's mother with her own marital problems. We don't get to see Ms Sandrelli enough on the screen. She's an elegant and welcome sight whenever she graces a film.
Cheaters beware: Don't risk losing someone who loves you unconditionally for a quickie, no matter how gorgeous that quicky might be, or even if she's an Italian Lolita.
