Con questo film si rivelò definitivamente una nuova generazione di attori, tutti più o meno coetanei, tra i quali Pierfrancesco Favino, fino ad allora sconosciuto [1] Accoglienza [ modifica | modifica wikitesto ] The last Kiss is a film about the stories of eight main characters, whose lives connect in rhythmic and parallel passions. They are all different ages: Francesca is eighteen and during the film she falls in love with Carlo, who is now thirty – like his friends Adriano, Alberto and Marco. Marco, in turn, is with 27-year old Giulia, the romantic and idealistic mother of his unborn son. Giulia’s mother Anna, now in her fifties, with twenty-nine years of marriage behind her and a great fear of aging, is coming to accept the end of her youth. international title: Gabriele Muccino's credit that the status quo is not restored without a convincing display of raw emotion and fiery Mediterranean temperament - Mezzogiorno proving that hell hath no fury like an expectant mother scorned. It must be a generational thing. The Last Kiss, a tale of thirtysomething males dithering between responsibility and the open road, is a likeable but fragile film, with little emotional depth. Very much of its time and place, the film is a superficial paean to Muccino's superficial contemporaries: the clean-shaven, financially buoyant, recreational-drug-using, mobile-phone-dependent generation of 30-year-olds which inhabit the smarter suburbs of metropolitan Italy at the beginning of the new millennium. There is a light comic touch about some of the dialogue, but Muccino labours rather too much to create plot mirrors and character contrasts. His story mechanics are in such need of oiling: we can practically hear the cogs squeaking.

Muccino's prowling, restless camera and insistence on underscoring every scene with lush mood music are annoying embellishments, and he could have tied up the various plot strands with less indulgence. Still, this is an intelligent and dark-edged romantic comedy that offers a bracing antidote to Love Actually's treacly sentiment. Originariamente i protagonisti dovevano essere Kim Rossi Stuart e Claudia Pandolfi, ma sia l'uno che l'altra rifiutarono e il regista scelse Accorsi e la Mezzogiorno fra i quali in quel periodo era in corso una relazione anche nella vita reale. L'ultimo bacio, a romantic comedy drama film released in 2001, directed by Gabriele Muccino, has been one of the most popular and appreciated films of Italian cinema. The film stars Stefano Accorsi, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, and Stefania Sandrelli in lead roles. The story of L'ultimo bacio revolves around Carlo, a thirty-year-old man who is going through a midlife crisis. He has a steady job and girlfriend Giulia who loves him too, but despite his seemingly comfortable life, he feels like he is missing out on something. He is not happy with the prospect of soon becoming a father, and can't shake the feeling that his youth is slipping away.

A sequel to the film (Italian: Baciami ancora; English: Kiss me again) was released in Italy in February 2010. The film is about the power of love, loyalty, and friendship, as well as the complexities of modern-day relationships. L'ultimo bacio explores the difficult choices people make when they have to choose between settling down and living their wildest dreams. The movie highlights how the pressures and expectations of society can force people to make difficult and life-altering decisions. Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Stefano Accorsi, Regina Orioli, Stefania Sandrelli, Claudio Santamaria, Piero NatoliThe film's motto is voiced by one of the characters: "We're not 20 anymore; but we're not 40 yet either, thank God." (Hey guys - it's really not that bad). In a sanitised upscale Roman suburb that would not look out of place in a TV ice-cream advert, Carlo (Stefano Accorsi, who made his name in a TV ice-cream advert) is getting cold feet. His girlfriend Giulia (rising diva Giovanna Mezzogiorno, who is Accorsi's real-life partner) is pregnant, and Carlo's just met a much younger girl at a party. His male friends are not much help: one already has a kid, and feels trapped; another is driven to distraction by a crumbling relationship and his family's expectation that he will take over his ailing father's religious souvenir business; a third is enviably single. Il film ha incassato 13 milioni di euro al botteghino (dati Cinetel), rimanendo per ben sei mesi nelle sale cinematografiche, fatto che nel cinema italiano non avveniva da tempo. Nel 2002 il film ottiene un buon successo anche all'estero, in particolare in Europa. Distribuito anche negli Stati Uniti durante l'estate successiva, è inserito dalla celebre rivista di cinema Entertainment Weekly tra i dieci migliori titoli dell'anno. Carlo meets up with a former classmate named Marco, and their conversation triggers deeply buried feelings and memories about youth, passion, and adventure. Marco reveals that he is still living the same carefree life that they used to live, characterized by wild parties, drugs, and one-night stands. The actors in L'ultimo bacio give a memorable performance, especially Stefano Accorsi, who is at his charming best as Carlo. Giovanna Mezzogiorno portrays Giulia and brings depth and emotion to the character. Stefania Sandrelli plays Giulia's mother, who's going through her own set of troubles, with great honesty and humor. Nel cast del secondo film non figurano neanche Martina Stella, Stefania Sandrelli, Sergio Castellitto, Carmen Consoli, Ines Nobili, Piero Natoli e Vittorio Amandola (deceduti entrambi prima del sequel), Regina Orioli e Luigi Diberti; in compenso vengono aggiunti altri personaggi, interpretati da Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Primo Reggiani e Adriano Giannini, oltre a Vittoria Puccini che sostituisce, appunto, la Mezzogiorno nel ruolo di Giulia.
