      Not for me
      Neo-realist comedy-drama about a young guy without a job or prospects trying to woo a girl. I often find when I watch Italian films which are not genre-oriented, I find myself struggling a bit. This one was no different, as I didn't connect with it too much and it did appear to me to ultimately boil down to scenes of Italians shouting at each other an awful lot. Yeah, I'm better off sticking to pastaland offerings featuring leather-clad killers, violent men in small cars and master criminals in gimp suits.
