Review of To Rome with Love (2012) by Tiberio S — 21 Oct 2012
To Rome with Love is exactly what I like in movies -- it does cool, mind-bending type things without directly telling you that's what it is. Why should it? Is that the point of the movie? That it's part-flashback intertwined with present-time? I hate it when ideas like this become the twist or revelation in a movie when really that revelation serves no purpose.
It's what makes films like Usual Suspects and Memento so lesser-minded. To Rome with Love is like many Woody Allen films, inspired by auteurs - the Fellini-types - that just dream their way through presenting a movie.
It certainly doesn't meet standards of consumer-demand movies, but my only demand from a filmmaker is to keep it interesting. I don't have compulsive rules as to what a film should be. And Allen is his own thing -- good for him.
