In his follow-up to the 2010 sleeper hit Mid-August Lunch, writer-director-actor Gianni Di Gregorio has created another sparkling comedy -- this time with a dash of the bittersweet. In The Salt of Life, Gianni plays a retiree who has become invisible to all, regardless of age or relation. He contends with an aristocratic, spendthrift mother; a wife who is more patronizing friend than romantic partner; a daughter with a slacker boyfriend whom Gianni unwillingly befriends; and a wild young neighbor who sees him merely as her dog walker. Watching his "codger" friends snare beautiful younger women on the sun-kissed cobblestones of Trastevere, Gianni tries his polite, utterly gracious best to generate some kind of extracurricular love life -- with both hilarious and poignant results. In Italian with English subtitles.

"The lushness of [Rome] in bloom virtually bursts from the screen."
-- Stephen Holden, The New York Times
