Horribile (web)

Rating: 1/10 (8 October 2013)

Well, having an handful Allen's movie under my belt now (just because he casts actresses I like like Amanda, Natalie, Monica), i wasn't expected much of this movie. As it's indeed dull, i'm not disappointed.
If it's a comedy, it's not funny. If it's a romance, it's not moving. I cannot say either if it's an Italian movie that speaks sometimes English or the contrary, but in the end, the double languages are tiring. The story is nonexistent as it's exploded between 4 separate threads that are as flat as each other. Finally, even the locations are trashy: sure, you explore Roma a lot but the golden cinematography kills everything! Allen even succeeds to give Monica the worst part in her career: she really has nothing to do here!
With the recent watching of "Nine", it's funny to see big American directors failing disastrously to catch "bella vita"! Coppola should laugh...
