"La voce umana" or "The Human Voice" is a 25-minute Italian live action short film from last year. The director and writer is Swiss filmmaker Edoardo Ponti (husband to Sasha Alexander from NCIS) and he and Erri De Luca adapted a play by Jean Cocteau for this little movie. It is basically a one-woman show for Italian Academy Award winning actress Sophia Loren, in her 80s now. We follow her phone call to her significant other, in which he apparently is ending the relationship. We see and hear her suffer, we see and hear her be or pretend to be strong etc. I must say Loren was okay, but in terms of the story, I just wasn't impressed. Not even enough material for under 30 minutes in my opinion, which made this a fairly disappointing watch. if you still want to check it out, make sure you have subtitles unless you are fluent in Italian. But I don't recommend the watch.
