Room in Rome (2010)

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Wow, that's all I can say! This should be the only film that has more nudity then any other film I have seen before! I think it should be in the Guiness book of records! I loved how the girls relationship blossomed throughout this film even though, they seem to have known each other for days or just the day they first met. The two actresses have absolutely have stunning figures like. It was funny hearing that waiter Max singing a pretty random Italian song, he has a pretty good strong voice. I was so relieved when he respected both girls privacy, it just wouldn't be right to invade their love because really the story is based on mostly them and not him. It was so amazing to hear each character speaking in a different language, I would only know my native language English unfortunately. I thought all languages had nice different words to learn off. I don't think I picked them up too easily I'm afraid haha! You guys should watch this movie, it's beautiful 💘💓💟

When i decided to watch this movie, Room In Rome (RIR) it's because i read that this is the remake of En La Cama (ELC), which i already watched before. So, i'm having, kind of, comparative agenda in the beginning. The story is undeniably similar to each other, but i think RIR has different variety and is more emotional. The characters are very-well portrayed and well developed. The chemistry is good between them two and the acting is well-done and i personally think that the portion (which is Elena's character) is given the way it should be without underestimated another. The dialogs are quite strong, instead of couples of repetition in the beginning (if i recall: the one that Natasha said "this is my last day in Spain" which was previously mentioned before they entered the hotel room and then she repeats it again) What i love about this movie is the cinematography and the score, i think they're making this movie more colorful and interesting. Both aspects are mutual to each other which strengthen the emotional value. On the whole, just when you read the plot/summary, and then you'll think this movie is going to be boring, take it back, RIR is an interesting and emotional movie. It's typical European movie. Every messages that the writer wants to deliver is carefully and gently portrayed. In the end, it makes me regret to think that i can compare RIR with ELC. The director and writers are successfully developed this movie more than just a story about two women, in a hotel room and a one night stand.

I think Habitación en Roma can provoke a divisive effect on the audience: some people will take it as a delicate and sensual tale about intimacy, personal reflection and sexual identity; and other ones will take it as a pretentious erotic drama whose only purpose is exploiting the morbidity under the disguise of "art". Personally, I incline to the former, because even though I wouldn't consider Habitación en Roma a great film, I liked it pretty much mainly because of its deep screenplay and extraordinary performances.On some way, Habitación en Roma belongs to the same type of films such as My Dinner with Andre, Tape and Before Sunrise, which were all dedicated to a long conversation which gets us hooked on its twists and surprises while we unravel the characters' enigma. In fact, I took the runaway sexuality and the constant nudity from the main actresses in Habitación en Roma as an analogy of the emotional "discovery" which impulses the screenplay, in which the physical intimacy is just a preamble of the emotional intimacy the main characters end up sharing at the end of the film.And then we have the brilliant performances from Elena Anaya and Natasha Yarovenko, who both bring a devastating energy and sincerity to their characters. The main reason why it was very easy for me to accept the premise from this film is because Anaya and Yarovenko took such a possession of their characters that they totally become them.And I would also like to mention the perfect manufacture from Habitación en Roma; the cinematography is fantastic, the production design possesses such a warmth and detail that it brings the almost amniotic setting of the room to life; and the music complements and underlines the characters' emotional evolution. On the negative side, there are a few moments which feel kinda forced, and I think some aspects could have been a bit deepened. Nevertheless, Habitación en Roma is a very good film because of its generally solid screenplay, great performances and emotional resonance. I recommend it, but with the warning that you have to make an effort in order to see beyond the "softcore" and find the many interesting subjects explored by this film. But even those ones who simply want to see two attractive actresses naked during most of the movie, yes...they will also be left satisfied. But maybe not as much as the other ones.

I couldn't believe a single word of what these two women were saying, the whole dialog sounded very unrealistic. I cannot imagine two women talking like this.Acting was poor, specially by the "Russian" girl, the way she smiles is very artificial and idealistic. The whole story, that by the way is way too thin, is unrealistic and it really feels more like a man's fantasy. Lacking in substance it became a soft porn movie, but because it feels so artificial it doesn't get really erotic either.So what do you have left to enjoy? Very little. If to you seeing two beautiful naked women is sufficient, then watch it. But if apart from naked bodies you, like me, need a believable story too, then don't waste your time with this movie!
