The Salt of Life

The misadventures of Gianni (director/co-writer Gianni Di Gregorio) continue in this humorous, poignant follow-up to "Mid-August Lunch," as the retiree is ignored by Rome's ladies even as the women in his life provide him with considerable troubles. From his aged mother (Valeria De Franciscis) to his wife, daughter, and hard-partying neighbor, each manages to vex him while he observes others enjoying blissful May-December romances. With Alfonso Santagata, Valeria Cavalli. 90 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: Italian Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English; behind-the-scenes footage; interview; theatrical trailer. In Italian with English subtitles.
