AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
After the global success of 2016’s Perfect Strangers, writer/director Paolo Genovese has struck gold again with Somebody to Love, an hilarious, all-star romantic comedy that reveals the innermost thoughts and uncertainties of an Italian couple on their awkward first date in Rome.
Recently separated philosophy professor and father-of-one Piero (Edoardo Leo) has arrived for dinner at the home of Lara (Pilar Fogliati), a talented furniture restorer, who has recently ended her relationship with a married man.
As the two begin to get to know each other, they must also navigate their competing inner voices: the thoughts - whether instinctive, romantic, logical or impulsive - that guide their emotions and decisions. As the evening evolves, their hidden desires and quirks gradually come to light, along with their hearts’ unmistakeable desire to find a perfect match.
Skilfully blending charm and comedic expertise, Somebody to Love has swept over 2.5 million moviegoers off their feet to become Italy’s #1 box office hit of 2025. This is fresh, uproarious and crowd-pleasing entertainment at its best.
“Paolo Genovese has done it again.” - Variety
“A comedy with touch, class and a sense of observation of humans grappling with their emotions and postures.” - IL MESSAGGERO
