ROOM IN ROME
(HABITACIÓN EN ROMA)
2010, Julio Medem, Spain, 109 min.
With Elena Anaya, Natasha Yarovenko
Director Medem (SEX AND LUCIA) has a way with erotic themes, and he proves it once again with this sumptuous tale. Two young women, tomboyish Spanish brunette Alba and lithe Russian blonde Natasha, meet on their final night as tourists in Rome and end up spending the night together. In the atmospheric confines of Alba’s room, they flirt, tease, and seduce each other, all while trading tales of erotic exploits and other loves too fantastic to be true, or are they? One Internet poll named ROOM IN ROME one of the 100 most anticipated films of the year, and the trailer online has viewing numbers into the stratosphere. See for yourself. In English, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Basque with English subtitles. 35mm widescreen. (BS)
