Paris was midnight. Now we are roaming the sun-dappled streets of Trastevere and climbing the Spanish Steps, where Woody Allen composes his hilarious and star-studded love letter to Rome. Alec Baldwin is a writer revisiting the scenes of an old love; Jesse Eisenberg is a young man torn between his girlfriend, Greta Gerwig, and aspiring actress and femme fatale Ellen Page; Penelope Cruz is a voluptuous woman of the streets who gives a young bridegroom a lesson in love; Roberto Benigni is an ordinary Roman contending with sudden, inexplicable adoration, and Woody himself is an eccentric opera director who comes to Rome with wife Judy Davis and finds an unlikely new star to promote. To Rome with Love finds Woody Allen in a merry mood: it’s a breezy, kaleidoscopic comedy about amore, infidelity, the fickleness of fame and the strange consequences of singing in the shower.
