What critics compared Made in Italy to
“Made in Italy” sidelines these intriguing female characters, fashioning them with stock motives amid sun-dappled vibes reminiscent of Ridley Scott’s Provence-set “A Good Year.”
The film fits neatly into the same vibrant, postcard-quality camp as Under the Tuscan Sun and A Good Year.
Visually, Made in Italy is reminiscent of another escape-to-Italy romance, Audrey Wells’ 2003 Under the Tuscan Sun, starring Diane Lane (and also featuring Duncan).
The film fits neatly into the same vibrant, postcard-quality camp as Under the Tuscan Sun and A Good Year.
There is a fine tradition of “American women find themselves in Italy” films, from Only You (1994), Stealing Beauty (1996), Under the Tuscan Sun (2003), and Chasing Liberty (2004) to Eat Pray Love and Letters to Juliet (both 2010) but less films about men doing the same.
The result is sort of a male-centric version of “Under the Tuscan Sun.”
