Green star Mid-August Lunch

Italy, 2008 | 75 min. | Dir. Gianni di Gregorio

Mid-August Lunch Every work of art has to have a core moment. It is the moment that breaks the whole film into two parts: one that is leading to the core; the other that is departing from it. In this pleasant Italian film, the moment is easy to locate. It happens when the main, wine-loving character—who is played by the director, Gianni di Gregorio—is grocery shopping for the old women he is basically babysitting for the weekend. Looking for good fish, he gets on the back of his friend’s motorbike and is carried around the streets of Rome. The sun is out, the streets are clear, the motorbike smoothly turns this way and that. When you reach this core, the whole movie will make sense. By Charles Mudede
