The Salt of Life (Gianne e le Donne, Italy, 2011)






















3/5

It was funny, but not that funny. It was clever, but not that clever. It was cute, but not that cute. It was fun, but forgettable. It's a fun and also sad story about Gianni, a man desperate to get laid by any young woman he can. Problem is, he is not young himself. It leads to a few funny scenes, but incidentally not many of them involve women. Most of them are on his own, his own style of humor towards himself. Its emotional pull it so desperately wanted to have really didn't leave the screen, it really only stuck inside of his character for us to observe. The music in particular was annoying. It really was balanced too loud, and not just too loud but repetitive. Don't get me wrong, the movie had its moments, and it pretty easily crossed the line to be a decent movie. I just wish it was a good movie.
