Though hardly new material, this heartbreaking tale of an essentially decent husband and father, whose life falls apart after an extramarital tryst, is leavened by its Roman sense of humor and a superlative, arguably career-best perf from comedian-thesp Valerio Mastandrea. De Matteo's wider, withering portrait of the impossibility of surviving on a regular income in times of crisis is topical in Italy and further afield, which bodes well for the pic's international potential.
