I think I've spoken about this film before, but I rewatched it last night and I'm surprised that it actually stuck with me.

Room In Rome


I was always in love with the lighting and cinematography of this flick, it looks ridiculously beautiful... real life chiaroscuro, I don't know how they managed to pull it off, and of course I'm enchanted by Elena Anaya in the flick (she was Dr Poison in the Wonder Woman movie).  Partly by her adorable accent but also just because of the sheer force of personality she exudes in every moment of the flick.

It's hard to summarize the plot of the film without it sounding like a prono (two women return to a European hotel late at night, fall in love, there's a lot of sex, they're **** throughout almost the entire thing, and they use Google Earth a lot more than you'd expect), but don't let that throw you.  I mean, it may make you want to see the movie more, but it's not that kind of movie.  I think they may have gone above and beyond in every other category because of that premise, but the results... dang.  The skin practically glows (this is the counterpoint to "potato skin," something I deride a lot of flicks like Sucker Punch for having), you can see the slightest changes in light... there's a lot of darkness but it doesn't feel like anything's being hidden, you're not seeing a big wall of black anywhere.

Now, I saw this on Netflix and apparently the disc is really hard to get now, so I don't know if you'll be able to swing it.  But if this sounds interesting, see it, and it's one of those movies I recommend seeing in HD because of the cinematography and colour space that it utilizes.
