Toscana

Frankly, a film full of stereotypes... all these Italians being over friendly, messy, and generally in need on Northern European guidance. And then, for a culinary film, to have Parmesan cheese in Tuscany.... Just not acceptable! Also let down by the very poor English dubbing.

Could be a good remake of A Good Year if the writers filled the loopholes in the script. Where's Toscana? Do you know where Parmigiano Reggiano is produced? How come a famous chef could be unaware of what's going on in Italy and its depth of gastronomy? Why do you need a fast paced love story? Exaggerated father issues of the protagonist etc.

The summary is really all you need. As others have noted the scenery is lovely. The acting is forced and rushed.

Just skip this one and watch A Good Year.

As a Dane, Anders Matthesen is an insitution in himself; he is one of the most wellknown stand-up comedians we have in our country, and to see him tackle on a more serious role is quite refreshing. Also, I am quite a foodie myself, working as a food prepper at a deli and as a home cook/food blogger, and to me the highlight of the movie was showcasing Tuscan cuisine as well as the beauty of Tuscany. However, the script and plot of the movie was not very spectacular in execution and felt kind of tired after a while, and while some of the characters were quite likeable, in the end they made a lot of choices that didn't really make any sense.

After pandemic and lockdown you just want some featherlight and beautiful images to look at.

Nordic cuisine meets bella whats not to like Italy.
