Date:

IONCINEMA.com Top 100 Films

#42. Room in Rome

Director/Writer: Julio Medem
Producers: Medem and Alvaro Longoria (La zona)
Distributor: IFC Films.

The Gist: This is a remake of Chilean Matias Bize’s “En la cama” with a Spanish girl who indulges in a night of casual sex in Rome. This sees two strangers (Elena Anaya and Natasha Yarovenka) who meet and spend a passionate physical encounter in a hotel room.….(more)

Cast: Elena Anaya, Natasha Yarovenko and Enrico Lo Verso.

Why is it on the list?: Still working on the same themes of sexual awareness and self-discovery, hopefully this is closer in quality to Sex and Lucia than Chaotic Ana.

Release Date/Status?: IFC Films made the rare move to get this while in production. Look for this to receive a festival release and to be quickly introduced to art-house theater lovers.
