"The bottom has fallen out for Carlobianchi and Doriano, two small-time Italian crooks. They haven't been able to mount an honest scam since the 2008 financial crisis and now face the impending mediocrity of middle age."
"Along their slow motion, alcoholic grand tour of the Venetian countryside, they cross paths with Giulio, a shy architecture student who reluctantly warms to the sodden pair and indulges their rants about the folly of globalization and the slow decline of local color."
"Francesco Sossai's dazzling sophomore feature is many things at once: a road movie, a casual caper, a tribute to a vanishing industrial Italy, a scruffy intergenerational odyssey, and free-flowing."
The Last One for the Road follows Carlobianchi and Doriano, two petty criminals struggling with their lives post-2008 financial crisis. Their chance encounter with Giulio, a shy architecture student, leads to an unexpected friendship. The film captures their journey through the Venetian countryside, highlighting themes of globalization and the decline of local culture. Premiering at Cannes, it showcases Sossai's love for the Veneto region and reflects on the challenges of middle age and lost opportunities. The film will be released in New York on May 1, with further screenings planned.
