Mid-August Lunch
Streaming video - 2008
An utterly charming tale of good food, feisty ladies and unlikely friendships during a very Roman holiday. Broke, and armed with only a glass of wine and a wry sense of humor, middle-aged Gianni resides with his 93-year-old mother in their ancient apartment. The condo debts are mounting, but if Gianni looks after the building manager’s mother, all will be forgiven. Then the manager also shows up with an auntie, and then a doctor friend appears with his mother in tow... Can Gianni keep these lively mamas well fed and happy in these cramped quarters? Winner of four prizes at the **Venice Film Festival.** *"A simple and endlessly charming look at a weekend in the life of an uncomplicated middle-aged man living with his aging mama."... - Linda Barnard, **Toronto Star***
