TO ROME WITH LOVE
July 10, 2013  | By David Bianculli

Starz!, 7:05 p.m. ET

 

This 2012 Woody Allen movie may not have captured attention like its immediate predecessor, Midnight in Paris, but as a cleverly written and performed love letter to another global city, it’s nearly as endearing. Among the standout plots and performances, watch for Roberto Benigni as an ordinary Italian citizen who suddenly is celebrated and hounded by the media and surrounded by all the trappings of stardom, for no discernible reason. It’s Allen’s most overt take on celebrity culture since Stardust Memories and, yes, Celebrity.
