Room in rome 2010 movie#

With frequent inserts of the paintings that adorn the walls of the hotel room and mentions of the history that the ancient city holds, Medem tries hard to draw parallels between the inherent passion of Rome and the mutual infatuation of the two women. Rome attempts to use its setting as a character. The only definite personal information about either character is that they are both cheating on long term serious partners. Put a robe on!) There is more backstory than actual plot, but in Alba and NatashaвЂ™s attempts to remain coy, itвЂ™s unclear if that backstory is actually true: NatashaвЂ™s name is maybe Dasha, and she is maybe an actor and maybe a tennis player, and she maybe was a history major and maybe lives on an island Alba is maybe not her real name, and she and/or her mother were maybe sold to a Saudi prince, and she maybe had a miscarriage and maybe has a dead stepson. The greatest personal obstacle that the two women must overcome is learning to put their robes on when they open the hotel room door. In that respect, it makes sense that the dialogue feels awkward and stunted - of course the word choice and rhythm of a secondary or tertiary language will not be the same as those of a mother tongue however, despite these very legitimate reasons, the clunkiness of the writing firmly takes a native English speaker out of the story.ДЄlthough, itвЂ™s not that hard to be taken out of the story because there isnвЂ™t much story present in Room In Rome. Not because it is that good, but because it is almost exclusively in English, a language that neither of the two protagonists nor the screenwriter speak natively. ItвЂ™s difficult to critique the writing of this movie. Alba grabs NatashaвЂ™s hand, and like clockwork, Natasha discloses that sheвЂ™s вЂњnever gone up to a womanвЂ™s room beforeвЂќ.

Alba seduces Natasha to come up to her hotel room with pick up lines so aggressive and dull itвЂ™s astounding that they work. Natasha is flying back to Moscow the next day Alba is leaving for Spain. I mean, there is a pillow fight! And while one of the actors does identify as a part of the LGBT community, that hardly takes the sting out of the heteronormative male gaze under which these charactersвЂ™ experience exist.ДЄlba (Elena Anaya) and Natasha (Natasha Yarovenko) meet at a bar on their last night in Rome.

Room in rome 2010 movie#

Julio Medem clearly built this movie on what is likely nothing more than fantasy and conjecture. LetвЂ™s start with the fact that Room In Rome, the story of two women who meet and fall in love - or at least lust, was written and directed by a straight man. Shall we start with the reliance on the trope of homosexual experimentation? Using adultery as a plot device? The child molestation backstory? The miscarriage one? Oh, the embarrassment of riches is overwhelming.

Where does one start w hen reviewing Room In Rome? There is almost too much to unpack.
