When a filmmaker’s reach exceeds his grasp, that’s

When a filmmaker’s reach exceeds his grasp, that’s when you end up with movies like this work of pretentious existential nonsense from writer-director Francesco Sossai. For roughly the first 45 minutes of this aimlessly meandering road trip/buddy flick, barflies Carlobianchi (Sergio Romano) and Doriano (Pierpaolo Capovilla) go in search of the evening’s “one last drink” at various roadside watering holes across northeastern Italy. They eventually set their sights on Venice, where they’re scheduled to meet their old friend and work colleague, Genio (Andrea Pennacchi), who’s flying in the following morning, returning to Italy after an extended self-imposed exile in Argentina. Along the way, the duo engages in a series of unfocused, largely pointless drinking-related encounters with assorted strangers, most notably a sheepish young architecture student, Giulio (Filippo Scotti), whom they take under their wing and adopt as a sort of reluctant hearty partying initiate. The trio thus continues on their inebriated merry way during which they seek out more wayward adventures, and, in the process, the ring leaders of this alcohol-soaked binge gradually share Genio’s story with their new pal, even though the details they provide remain somewhat sketchy, especially in terms of how they relate to the overall story. In essence, most of the rest of the narrative depicts Giulio’s emergence from his self-constructed shell in becoming “a man.” However, considering the questionable character of his decidedly disreputable role models, are they truly stand-up examples of something to which Guilio should aspire? Now, I have nothing against looking for a good time, but is their brand of drunken, unbridled hedonism something to emulate? By the time the end of this release finally rolls around, it’s easy to see how one might be ready to swear off drinking. Clearly, this offering doesn’t know what it’s trying to say, where it wants to go and how it’s seeking to get there. Much of the fault here rests squarely with the story and screenplay, both of which are ineptly constructed, partly because they desperately try to incorporate too much material and partly because they send dubious messages. What’s more, just when things start getting interesting – when the particulars of Genio’s story start to surface, after a seemingly endless 45 opening minutes – the faucet of details dries up all too quickly and is never really revisited in any substantive way. This 2025 Cannes Film Festival Un Certain Regard nominee also makes occasional seemingly valiant attempts at incorporating a measure of allegedly philosophical observations, mostly served up from the bottom of a shot glass, that largely collapse under the weight of their own vacuous insights. Indeed, “The Last One for the Road” might like to believe that it’s a source of profound wisdom when, in fact, it’s little more than a protracted exercise in calling for additional rounds of revelations that never surface.

Brilliant and so true

I loved this movie.I am from Veneto region and I can tell you 100% it totally nailed the atmosphere, both the life and the anti-life of living in this part of Italy.This is not a classic script , if you are looking for a normal plot you will be disappointed; this is not the point of the movie. I would say it's an experience. If you watch this movie you will breathe a real part of this region, and I love that it's not judgemental, there is no redemption, the movie just goes in its own direction passing ugly architectures, ugly characters, territorial nihilism, it shows the things as they are. We all know the beauty of Padova, Verona, Venice...here you will see the interstices.Nice cast also. Especially Charlie White :)

Sad and charming at the same time

A few days in the life of two 50+ drifters, Carlobianchi and Doriano, who send most of their time roaming the not so attractive areas of the Veneto region looking for their "last one for the road." In between they reminiscent past pleasures while looking forward to meet with longtime friend Genio, who spent the past couple of years in Argentina. On their way to the airport they get to know and pick up the young architecture student Giulio, who seems lost between following his desire for a particular girl and going home to be fit for an examination the next day. He let himself be dragged along by the two charming misfits, who are driving with ease from one rather rundown place to the next, making the most of new acquaintances. While Giulio's way of life gets slightly corrupted, his new friends also get some new aspects through his persistent wish to view places of architectual interest. When they finally meet Genio, some secret revelations of the two drifters come to light.The economic changes in the area are an important part of this story. Meandering through the region we see people struggling for a decent life, while our two protagonists rely on divine providence and don't look far into the future, not further at least, till to their next one for the road.(Seen at the Vienna International Film Festival)
