Room in Rome (2010)

Load of rubbish!!

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

First of all, this is not soft porn, this is not even an erotic movie as many are calling it. It's just Medem's worst, by far, movie. I loved all his previous movies, but this one is just unbearable. The acting is terrible and the dialogues are also terrible and makes no sense. And the way it deals with sexuality is just awful. "when did you turned a lesbian? " what kind of question is that ? The movie makes people believe that sexuality is something it can be changed or chosen through life. I find it to be quite offensive to lesbian women. Everything is wrong with this one. I can't believe Medem made it. Just Avoid it.

The film, first of all, has a superb music. Then it is filmed in a unique manner, intimate, full of intensity, the camera penetrates slowly into the core of the soul of the two female characters, two young women who fall in love with each other during a night in a hotel room in Rome. The two actresses, Elena Anaya and Natasha Yarovenko, shows not only their physical beauty, but a small part of the beauty of the human soul. It's a love story, very sensitive, it is not soft-porn. The most intense moment of the film is when Alba and Natacha are singing the Italian song "Volare" in the bathroom. Although all the action takes place only in that hotel room, the movie is not boring at all, can be seen with pleasure, and 2nd and 3rd time.

This is a film with a beautifully simple narrative arc, all focused on one night and one space. An experienced lesbian seduces a novice...they spend a night in a room in Rome where their naked physicality merges with Renaissance art in a small world that is transformed through loving a stranger....all the makings of another homo-erotic love tale with high-brow artistic flourishes and a haunting musical score to carry the story to the high watermark. But this film genuinely cuts new ground: it is full of surprises, twists, and exquisitely painful turns. The acting is playful, vibrant, and the interactions erotically natural, giving the film a power not found in the genre factories. Definitely on my short list of all-time favourite films.

The very reason that I give 10 out of 10 is I am in the same situation just like this movie. There are reflections almost the exact same as in my life, it reminds me of how much I love this woman.This movie would be hard to understand and relate to if you never go into situation like them, this is not about cheating but to know what you really needed in your life. Being together with someone is always about the right timing and the right person. No matter how good you are planning for your life, your fate have and will show you the right one.If you could put yourself in their shoe in this movie, you will find out how beautiful they have become at the end. From holding back to each other to being completely honest within a night, all I can say is they are mean to each other.I hope you can enjoy this movie as I do.
