Me, Myself and Her / Io e Lei
Director: Maria Sol Tognazzi
Cast: Margherita Buy, Sabrina Ferilli
Italy, 2015, 102 min., Italian w/ Hebrew and English subtitles
From the producer of The Great Beauty, the director of A Five Star Life and the scriptwriter of I am Love comes a film featuring two of Italy's leading contemporary actresses: Margherita Buy (My Mother) and Sabrina Ferilli (The Great Beauty).
They star as Marina and Federica, who have been together for five years. They live in a ravishing Roman apartment, share the same bed and face cream, and love making love.
Federica, a successful architect, was for a long time married to a man, and has a son in his early twenties. She is still coming to terms with being in a lesbian relationship. Marina, an actress-turned-successful health-food restaurant owner, has no qualms about her sexuality. She is an independent, funny and sexy woman. An encounter with a man from Federica's past could see the two lovers reach a point of no return.
Rome, the film's third leading lady, is as photogenic as always, while Buy and Ferilli are both enchanting in this comic, entertaining contemporary drama, made to perfection in the way only Italians make films.
