Woody Allen’s latest, an homage to Italian cinema and the city of Rome, is playing at our very own BAM Rose Cinema. To Rome With Love stars Alec Baldwin, Ellen Page, Woody Allen, Jesse Eisenberg, Roberto Benigni and Penélope Cruz. It is the newest of Allen’s city-themed movies, which include Midnight in Paris and Vickie Cristina Barcelona. Prior to these masterful love songs to two European cities, he made three films in London. As I read somewhere, Allen used to admire foreign directors and now he is a foreign director—in Europe.

To Rome with Love sounds like an omnibus of a movie about a variety of Americans and Italian characters who either live in or are visiting Rome. Showtimes this weekend are: ‎2:10‎ ‎4:40‎ ‎7:15‎, ‎9:45pm‎
