MANUAL OF LOVE / MANUALE D’AMORE
Director: Giovanni Veronesi
2005, 108 minutes, color

Nominated for 12 David di Donatello Awards, this hilarious comedy chronicles the four phases of love: Tommaso and Giulia go through pleasures and surprises of “falling in love.” Barbara and Marco are experiencing a “crisis” in their long-term relationship ----will a child help them overcome it? Traffic cop Ornella is shattered by a dramatic “betrayal” which she is determined to overcome by focusing on her fight against the enemy of all women --- men! Goffredo comes to grips with “abandonment” by his wife, something he is unprepared to face. In desperation, he turns to a self-help audio book reassuringly entitled “Manual of Love.”
