Italian Movie Night – SOMEBODY TO LOVE
Viva Italia in Canberra proudly presents...
SOMBODY TO LOVE
SOMEBODY TO LOVE is an hilarious, all-star romantic comedy that reveals the innermost thoughts & uncertainties of an Italian couple on their awkward first date.
Rome, present day. Recently separated philosophy professor and father-of-one Piero (Breaking Up In Rome's Edoardo Leo) has arrived for dinner at the home of Lara (Pilar Fogliati), a talented furniture restorer. Lara has just ended her own relationship with a married man; indicative, she feels, of her tendency towards dead-end romances.
As the two begin to get to know each other, they must also navigate their competing inner voices - whether instinctive, romantic, logical or impulsive - that guide their emotions and decisions. Over the course of the evening, Piero and Lara’s hidden desires and quirks gradually come to light, along with their hearts’ unmistakable desire to find a perfect match. Their heads, however, may have other plans…
SOMEBODY TO LOVE swept over 2.5 million moviegoers off their feet to become Italy’s #1 box office hit of 2025.
Arguably the date-night movie of the year, this is fresh, uproarious and crowd-pleasing entertainment at its best.
$25 - includes a welcome drink
