SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

Charmingly shaggy, this scruffy road movie/casual caper/intergenerational odyssey offers a tribute to a vanishing Italy and a free-flowing bender through time and space. Two small-time Italian crooks face the impending mediocrity of middle age. Along their slow-motion, alcoholic grand tour of the Venetian countryside, they cross paths with a shy architecture student who reluctantly warms to the sodden pair and indulges their rants. Each roadside tavern offers the promise of one last drink—until the next one ups the ante.

Official Selection: TIFF, NYFF, Cannes Film Festival
