And getting jiggy, if the Will Smith euphemism still works.

The story, as convoluted character-wise as it is, seemed secondary to the fact that the two women were…. Nudity for the sake of it, just to shock and titillate, wears out its welcome quite quickly, especially when it becomes a distraction, and I was most certainly distracted watching this film. But, in light of Room In Rome’s almost feature-length nudity run, I’m inclined to consider that perhaps in a major mainstream-ish film the nudity needs context. As the two talk and bond throughout the night, they uncover truths about each other that reveals much more than either of them ever thought they’d divulge. Two women, Alba (Elena Anaya) and Natasha (Natasha Yarovenko) join up at a club on their last night in Rome together, they go back to Alba’s hotel room where they engage in a casual sexual affair, an affair to which Natasha seems resistant thanks to a hidden pain, while Alba has emotional problems of her own. I say this because for the majority of the time the two female leads prance about their hotel room in various states of undress – often full frontal – and this leaves me, a red-blooded heterosexual male, with a conundrum: do I watch the boobies, or do I watch the story? 90 minutes of film where the leads are both nude, often engaging in some quite explicit performances, and you want me to watch this for the story? Okay, then, I’ll try. I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy it, because I did, but it was just hard to watch. What I wouldn’t give to have a webcam in this hotel.įorgive the euphemism, but this film was… ahem. In this regard, Room In Rome is an at-times moving, often beautiful film. The two actresses do a good job of bringing more depth to their characters than the overt nudity might otherwise allow – this is about two people finding each other for the briefest of moments. What we think : Gorgeously shot, Room In Rome is driven by character while maintaining the allure of an “arthouse” film by including plenty of nudity. Synopsis: Two women spend a night of passion, conversation, and illumination in a hotel room in Rome. Principal Cast : Elena Anaya, Natasha Yarovenko, Enrico lo Verso.
