With this film Massimo Troisi has returned to directing after 4 years of absence."It 'a film about love but not love. In the movies I've done before there were stories of love as a support to other situations and for three years I had it in his head instead of doing a film on everything' Love ... What is a science fiction film, not only because the characters talk about feelings, but all the others, even the extras, even if those passing shot. " Troisi.

Enea is a solar-like and weird, because Thomas is lazy, introverted and this has mesmerized the beautiful Cecilia. At a certain moment Aeneas reveals also generous: he knew that deep down she still loves her boyfriend and these leaves, as long as knows says make her happy. It disappears leaving for Afirica. While preparing for the second time the wedding, Thomas sees with renewed fears that, to be honest, love is lacking. Do not go to the wedding ceremony, as if he were terrified: she seeks after his wife is waiting in front of the altar and finds himself in a bar. Thomas said "that a man and a woman are actually the least able to contract marriage."

I love Max 'so this story to want to make the film, being led by a British director, although his poor health would permit. Between takes, and another is helping with the oxygen in respiration.

Mario died during a clash between police and ultra-communists (he had been invited to a congress communist to read a poem he had written in honor of Pablo Neruda). Neruda returns to the island five years later and learns from Beatrice's death of Mario.

The last film Massimo Troisi (whose death immediately after the end of the shoot wraps the movie of emotion that is difficult not to "blackmail"). At its maximum output was not present, we leave 'for good two days after the last Ciack ... He was nominated for an Oscar. He was one of the most 'likely winners, but the jury, the Academy Awards, perhaps irritated throughout the brawl around the film or to maintain a decent respect, it decided not to reward the movie he Massimo .. leaving us all his supporters in a state of deep bitterness.
